Everyone loves a full-wave bridge rectifier, but there’s no denying that they aren’t 100% efficient due to the diode voltage drop. Which isn’t to say that with some effort we cannot create an ideal ...

Superconductivity is an advantageous property observed in some materials, which entails an electrical resistance of zero at extremely low temperatures. Superconductors, materials that exhibit this ...

Linear Technology Corporation is claiming a major breakthrough with the introduction of the LT4320, an ideal diode bridge controller for 9V to 72V systems that replaces each of the four diodes in a ...

We probe the potential for intelligent intervention to enhance the power output of energy harvesters. We investigate general principles and a case study: a bi-resonant piezo electric harvester. We ...

The LT4320 from Linear Technology Corporation is an ideal diode bridge controller for 9V to 72V systems that replaces each of the four diodes in a full-wave bridge rectifier with a low loss N-channel ...

The LT4320 from Linear Technology is an ideal diode bridge controller for 9 V to 72 V systems that replaces each of the four diodes in a full-wave bridge rectifier with a low loss N-channel MOSFET to ...

IXYS ICD (formerly Clare, Inc) would like to highlight its 100V diode bridge chips, the CPC7556 and CPC7557, manufactured with IXYS ICD’s high voltage SOI technology, which it introduced earlier this ...

Superconducting thin-film electronics can offer low power consumption, fast operating speeds and interfacing capabilities with cryogenic systems such as single-photon detector arrays and quantum ...
