The losses in a bridge rectifier can easily become significant when low voltages are being rectified. The voltage drop across the bridge is a good 1.5 V, which is a hefty 25% with an input voltage of ...

The CBRSDSH5-40 Schottky bridge rectifier is packaged in the surface mount DIP case. It is said to be the first surface-mount 5-A 40-V full-wave bridge rectifier and has a 0.37-VF and a 40-µA reverse ...

Fairchild Semiconductor MDBxS series of MicroDIP Bridge Rectifiers have one of the lowest package height, with 1A bridge rectifiers available. The MDBxS series is designed to meet the needs of space ...

Fig. 1. Typical diode full-wave bridge. Full-wave diode bridges are found in many electronic systems (Fig. 1). At typical AC power line voltages, the drop across the diodes has little impact on the ...

Linear Technology has released a controller chip that turns four n-mosfets into an active bridge rectifier and cut the expected voltage drop of a bridge from 1.2V to under 100mV, dramatically cutting ...

I went to the local Radio Shack (yes, I'm far out enough into the sticks we still got Radio Shacks) and got a 8A 400V bridge recitifer, cut open a power cable, and wired it according to the schematic ...

Linear Technology Corporation announces the availability of a low loss 3-phase ideal diode bridge rectifier reference design, demonstrated on evaluation board DC2465. Conventional 3-phase rectifiers ...

If you are looking to replace halogen bulbs with LEDs, combining a rectifier bridge and a current-controlled synchronous step-up/step-down converter creates a high power factor driver circuit, writes ...
