A diode is a tiny component that controls the flow of electricity by allowing current to pass in only one direction. This ...

A diode is a device that allows current to flow in one direction but not in the other. This ability makes diodes useful in many applications, including converting AC to DC, regulating voltages, and ...

This lab seeks to illustrate the fundamental operation of uncontrolled rectifier circuits. The waveforms associated with these circuits are visualized using simulation and experimentation. The circuit ...

A major cause of losses in a conventional power supply using a 50/60-Hz transformer is the bridge rectifier. This article shows how to build a “greener” rectifier, substantially reducing losses by ...

Scientists working at the Stanford Institute for Materials and Energy Sciences (SIMES) claim to have created a molecule-sized electronic component just a few nanometers long that conducts electricity ...

And here it is, modelled using LTSpice. It is the same circuit as the classic simple precision rectifier (set to pass the negative half-sine), but with the non-inverting input of the op-amp connected ...

Although they are usually limited to only two leads, rectifiers and diodes play an important role in power electronic systems. In 2011, many types of rectifier/diodes were introduced, from bridge ...

Nexperia has introduced 120V silicon germanium (SiGe) rectifier diodes “with reverse voltages that combine the high efficiency of their Schottky counterparts with the thermal stability of ...

Diode maker HY Electronic (Cayman) has become a supplier of rectifier diodes used in ICCB (in-cable control box) of power charging facilities for electric vehicles (EVs), according to the company. HY ...

NANJING, China--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today, SMC Diode Solutions, an American-led semiconductor design and manufacturing company, celebrated the opening of its second power discrete fab in Nanjing, China.

Lite-On Semiconductor is expected to significantly ramp up its shipments of thin bridge rectifier diodes from the third quarter of 2014 as the company has landed orders from two major smartphone ...
