Electronic engineers know the common mantras when it comes to creating new designs: Make it cheaper. Make it smaller. Make it faster. These goals, along with technological evolution, keep most ...
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 ...
The losses in a bridge rectifier can easily become significant when low voltages are being rectified. The voltage drop across the bridge is a good 1.5 V, which is a hefty 25% with an input voltage of ...
After discussing the three transistor high-side buck p-mosfet driver (a recognised circuit and not mine) with some of EW’s sage commenters, I wondered once again if I could design something similar ...

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 ...
Designed for use in ac/dc power converters for laptops, mini-PCs, LCD and PDP televisions, game systems and other digital computing and home entertainment systems, the IR1167 SmartRectifier IC ...
