They’ve been a mainstay of Sci-Fi props for years but you’ll be hard pressed to find someone on the street that can tell you what they actually do. They’re Mercury Arc Rectifiers and our friends at ...

This article will explore the key elements of power diode technology, drawing from a Nexperia webinar series. Commencing with an examination of the rectifier principles, we will scrutinize the primary ...

Alpha and Omega Semiconductor has announced a family of active diodes which can reduce the 1.2V forward drop of 600V bridge rectifiers. “Both products are self-powered from the AC line and do not ...

2.2 kV rectifiers comply to high voltage creepage specifications, enabling higher voltage power semiconductors to be used as SMDs. Two new high voltage 2.2 kV rectifiers from IXYS, the DNA30EM2200PZ ...

An important aspect in the use of cathodic protection of reinforced concrete is the need for regular monitoring of performance and maintenance of the anode and electrical systems. This is to ensure ...

I n an idealized diode, no reverse current flows from cathode to anode when the device is reverse-biased. However, with real-world diodes, large amounts of stored charge can flow from the cathode—back ...
