The more common approach to manipulate the incoming AC wave so that both halves are used to cause output current to flow in the same direction is the use of full-wave rectifiers. A full-wave rectifier ...

A classic analog application is the precision active full-wave rectifier. Many different implementations exist of this theme, each with its own supposed advantages. However, one circuit element needed ...

The current-doubler rectifier is a popular alternative for the output stage of a buck-derived power converter, which would otherwise use a conventional center-tapped transformer with secondary-side, ...

When Electronic Design asked me to write about my Idea for Design, first seen in this year’s August 13 issue, it seemed a simple enough task. We’re all familiar with design. Most of us do it in some ...
