Malvern, Pa. — Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. has released a single-chip power MOSFET and Schottky diode device that is said to improve operational efficiency by up to 6% in DC/DC conversion ...

Diodes, one-way current conductors, are used for voltage regulation, AC/DC conversion, and circuit protection. Forward-biased at 0.6V, conduct current, reverse bias blocks it.

Enabling electric vehicles to convert AC to DC is key in ensuring they can be charged easily in the average home without succumbing to the drawbacks of using inverters, the current prevailing ...

By manipulating the switching frequency and turns ratios of the transformer, the circuit can have an arbitrary output voltage. In this case, it is designed to take 220V AC and convert it to 8V DC.

Bourns, Inc. announced the introduction of new high Power TVS diode models in SMD packaging for use in AC and DC power line applications.
