A active clamp circuit design for rectifiers at a high switching frequency of 200-kHz to 500-kHz without thermal issues.

A Rectifier is an electronic circuit that converts an input AC voltage into a DC voltage at the output terminal. This output is known as Rectified output voltage. Rectifiers are mainly used in power ...

After the rectifier comes the DC bus, which feeds the final stage of a VFD: the inverter. This last part uses power from the DC bus to emulate a three-phase AC waveform that will power the motor.

Nearly Ideal Diode Controllers The Linear Technology ideal diode controllers allow the power dissipation of diodes and rectifiers to be drastically reduced. The increased circuit complexity (and ...

A precision rectifier, sometimes called a super diode, is an op amp circuit designed to behave like an ideal diode and is used in high-precision signal processing applications. It’s not a synchronous ...
