To expand design flexibility in power electronics, RECOM Power has introduced a new range of discrete rectifier ICs to ...

International Rectifier, (IR), together with the Center for Power Electronics Systems (CPES), a research center sponsored by the National Science Foundation, today announced an initiative for the ...

Eltek Valere’s new 2000-W ac-dc rectifier for telecom applications boosts typical efficiency from the 92% available from some existing rectifiers to 96%, cutting rectifier power losses in half (see ...

Eric Lidow, a pioneer in power electronics and the founder of International Rectifier, has died at the age of 100. Lidow was born in Vilnius, Lithuania in 1912. He was educated as an electrical ...

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 ...

AC/DC power-factor correction (PFC) rectifiers are hugely benefitting from GaN FETs. They have very simple topologies; The inductor is the only magnetic part and this is usually a constant-frequency ...

ST has introduced a pair of autonomous secondary-side synchronous-rectification controllers for fly-back converters, suitable for quasi-resonant and continuous-discontinuous conduction fixed frequency ...

HYDROGEN fuel is gaining traction as a viable alternative to natural gas in industries, especially hard-to-abate sectors ...

Power electronics systems exclusively use silicon-based power management with power semiconductor switches. These switches are power metal-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs), insulated ...
