Modern power conversion requires ever-increasing efficiency combined with high power density. In fact, making a small high-efficiency system means saving space and reducing energy consumption, which ...

Fig 1 shows the efficiency gain using a synchronous rectifier. For an input voltage of 7.2V and output of 3.3V, a synchronous rectifier improves on the Schottky diode rectifier's efficiency by around ...

Linear Technology has created at three-phase ideal rectifier reference design. Using three of its LT4320 ideal diode bridge controllers and six n-channel mosfets, it is demonstrated on the DC2465 ...

Almost all off line switching power supplies over several kilowatts of output power use a three phase bridge rectifier. Typically, it comprises a six diode bridge and a DC bus filter capacitor. A ...
