Everyone loves a full-wave bridge rectifier, but there’s no denying that they aren’t 100% efficient due to the diode voltage ...

The regulator-rectifier plays a huge role in keeping a motorcycle’s electrical system running. By converting the engine’s alternating current (AC) into direct current (DC), it powers the onboard ...

Welcome back to this week’s installment of Scope Noob where I’m sharing my experiences learning to use my first oscilloscope. Last week I started out measuring mains frequency using an AC-AC wall wart ...

Typically, a power supply is comprised of a power transformer, which is then followed by a conventional bridge rectifier. The bridge rectifier is constructed using four diodes that are interconnected ...

The use of Operational amplifiers can improve the performance of a wide variety of signal processing circuits. In rectifier circuits, the voltage drop that occurs with an ordinary semiconductor ...

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, ...

NAMM 2025 might have us all focused on what’s new but maybe the biggest story to come this month in guitar amplification will have have us in a nostalgic mode, taking us all the way back to 1992 as ...

The merger, the biggest ever by Infineon, will bolster the Germany manufacturer’s presence in Asia and the United States. By Michael J. de la Merced Semiconductor maker Ixys Corp wins appeal court ...
