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, ...

W2830 and W3090 ICs are high current pressure contact rectifier diodes. It features voltage rating of 6 kV and surge current ratings at 36 kA and the devices are encapsulated in fully hermetic ceramic ...

IXYS UK Westcode recently introduced the addition of three new voltage classes to its range of 83 mm die, pressure contact rectifier diodes. The rectifier diodes with voltage rating at 1.5 kV, 4.0 kV, ...

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 ...

Conventional rectifiers employing diodes can’t be used with low-amplitude signals. This Idea for Design describes a circuit using Analog Devices' AD844 op amps to create a mixed-mode precision ...

Using nanometer-scale components, researchers have demonstrated the first optical rectenna, a device that combines the functions of an antenna and a rectifier diode to convert light directly into DC ...

IN the Brown Boveri Review for October a very impressive list is given of the mercury arc rectifiers for power transmission which the firm has shipped to overseas countries. We are glad therefore to ...
