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

The more common approach to manipulate the incoming AC wave so that both halves are used to cause output current to flow in the same direction is the use of full-wave rectifiers. A full-wave rectifier ...

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 ...

Teardowns of cheap electronic devices can produce results that are interesting, horrifying, or both, especially when mains power is involved. [bigclivedotcom] gave a minimalist LED lamp his reverse ...

The phase-shifted full bridge (PSFB) shown in Figure 1 is popular in applications >500 W because it can achieve soft switching on its input switches for high converter efficiency. Although switching ...

Adapted from an ac-output resonant half-bridge inverter circuit, the resonant CLC (capacitor-inductor capacitor) dc-dc converter employs a π-filter loaded by a rectifier. High-frequency power ...
