A good switching power supply requires a good printed circuit board. In order to make an efficient one, the PCB designer should understand the phenomenon behind the operation of the typical switching ...
A major cause of losses in a conventional power supply using a 50/60-Hz transformer is the bridge rectifier. This article shows how to build a “greener” rectifier, substantially reducing losses by ...
What attributes give trench Schottky rectifiers the edge in creating efficient designs, such as for LED lighting? A key factor for these rectifiers is their clip-bonded FlatPower packaging. PCIM ...
