To gain a few more points in conversion efficiency, power supply designers have been exploiting the benefits of synchronous rectification (SR) for some time now. Primarily, the focus has been on ...

Nexperia has teamed up with Kyocera AVX to develop an industrial 650V 20A silicon carbide rectifier module. It is aimed at “high frequency power applications ranging from 3kW to 11 kW power stack ...

Rectifiers and ac-dc power supplies employ large bulk capacitors. During power-up, these capacitors require a large amount of current to charge up, resulting in a large inrush current. This inrush ...
