SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Power management leader, Kinetic Technologies, is expanding its Power over Ethernet (PoE) portfolio with the introduction of the KTA1170 dual active bridge rectifier ...

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 ...

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 ...

For the PDF version of this article, click here. The phase-shifted full bridge with current doubler output stage is a popular power supply topology in high-power and low-voltage, high-current ...

The invention of electric diodes, which were the first devices to enable the rectification of current flux, marked the emergence of modern electronics and eventually led to worldwide revolutions in ...

Fig. 1. Typical diode full-wave bridge. Full-wave diode bridges are found in many electronic systems (Fig. 1). At typical AC power line voltages, the drop across the diodes has little impact on the ...

When it comes to efficiency, every bit helps. Designers now are borrowing ideas from higher-power (200W and above) designs to squeeze every watt from low-power designs—50 to 200W. Consequently, the ...
