Eltek Valere’s new 2000-W ac-dc rectifier for telecom applications boosts typical efficiency from the 92% available from some existing rectifiers to 96%, cutting rectifier power losses in half (see ...

In the realm of modern electronics, semiconductor diodes have emerged as fundamental components with diverse applications. One of their pivotal roles lies in the fields of rectification and voltage ...

The U.S. semiconductor rectifiers market is estimated at USD 2.36 billion in 2025 and is projected to grow at a 4.10% CAGR from 2026 to 2033, reaching USD 3.25 billion. Growth is driven by rising ...

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 ...

The amount of data needed for cloud computing is constantly growing, thus leading to increased energy consumption. A pivotal role is, in fact, played by The UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) [2][3].

FLOWN over here by the, International Rectifier Co. (Great Britain) Ltd. for display at the exhibition is one of the largest silicon rectifier stacks, in existence, pictured above. So, 64 years ago, ...
