Justin Mamaradlo continues his exploration of the P2 with a look at the diode bridge, including a modified version, and the offset adjust blocks. 1. This simplified block representation shows the ...
Replacing the silicon rectifier diodes in a full-wave bridge with N-type MOSFETs eliminates the V f drop in each conducting pair. The effects of the gain in efficiency are not trivial. To accomplish ...
