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 ...

Full-wave rectifiers with capacitor filters are, without question, the workhorse — and the unsung hero — of the modern electronic world and for the gadgets we have come to enjoy. That being said, it ...

IXYS ICD (formerly Clare, Inc) would like to highlight its 100V diode bridge chips, the CPC7556 and CPC7557, manufactured with IXYS ICD’s high voltage SOI technology, which it introduced earlier this ...

The input stage of an off-line power converter usually contains an LC averaging filter. A common practice is to damp the LC filter using additional reactive/dissipative components. In this article, we ...
