The losses in a bridge rectifier can easily become significant when low voltages are being rectified. The voltage drop across the bridge is a good 1.5 V, which is a hefty 25% with an input voltage of ...

Electronic engineers know the common mantras when it comes to creating new designs: Make it cheaper. Make it smaller. Make it faster. These goals, along with technological evolution, keep most ...

After discussing the three transistor high-side buck p-mosfet driver (a recognised circuit and not mine) with some of EW’s sage commenters, I wondered once again if I could design something similar ...

Yesterday’s idea for a Cuk converter synchronous rectifier drive (right) seems to work, according to my use of LTspice. Yesterday’s idea for a Cuk converter synchronous rectifier drive (right) seems ...

Leveraging ST’s robust silicon-on-insulator (SOI) process, the SRK1004 can control the MOSFET in either low-side or high-side ...

The most basic diagrams depicting non-isolated DC-DC converters generally show two ideal switches and an energy storage inductor. In early designs, it was quickly realized that one switch could be ...
