We have all had difficulty testing diodes in-circuit. Most DMM’s have a diode Vf function that measures forward drop, but what is the normal voltage drop? Analog VOM’s attempt to measure resistance of ...

Astrodyne TDI, a developer and manufacturer of specialized power solutions, has introduced a rugged and portable test rectifier. The Lightweight Test Rectifier (LTR), part of the Defender product line ...

STMicroelectronics announces its new family of Field-Effect Rectifier Diodes that provides a unique trade off between low forward voltage drop (VF) and low leakage current (IR) which permits designers ...

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 ...

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 ...

Diodes DIOD is benefiting from its expanding footprint in the industrial and automotive markets. These two markets represented 46% of the total product revenues in 2023. DIOD is further strengthening ...

Diode maker HY Electronic (Cayman) has become a supplier of rectifier diodes used in ICCB (in-cable control box) of power charging facilities for electric vehicles (EVs), according to the company. HY ...

There's no foolproof way to know the future for International Rectifier (NYS: IRF) or any other company. However, certain clues may help you see potential stumbles before they happen -- and before ...
