The current-doubler rectifier is a popular alternative for the output stage of a buck-derived power converter, which would otherwise use a conventional center-tapped transformer with secondary-side, ...

A classic analog application is the full-wave precision rectifier (absolute value) function. Many variations exist on this theme, each with its own supposed (often rather minor and sometimes downright ...

Linear Technology Corporation announces the LT8309, a flyback secondary-side synchronous rectifier driver that replaces the output diode with a MOSFET, allowing up to 10 A output current without the ...

Economically meeting efficiency specifications for ac/dc converters can be challenging. However, using the low VF rectifier (LVFR) technology, power supply efficiency can be improved without changing ...

The LM334 is not only an adjustable current source, but it is also a rectifier. Right on the front page of the TI data sheet are the words: “Reverse applied voltages of up to 20V will draw only a few ...

Current-mode full-wave rectifiers and precision rectification techniques represent vital advancements in signal processing, enabling the conversion of alternating current (AC) signals into a stable ...

In the realm of modern electronics, semiconductor diodes have emerged as fundamental components with diverse applications. One of their pivotal roles lies in the fields of rectification and voltage ...
