We have all had difficulty testing diodes in-circuit. Most DMM’s have a diode Vf function that measures forward drop, but what is the normal voltage drop? Analog VOM’s attempt to measure resistance of ...

Ideal diode bridge controller for 9 V to 72 V systems replaces each of the four diodes in a full-wave bridge rectifier with a low loss N-channel MOSFET. The LT4320 from Linear Technology is an ideal ...

Linear Technology Corporation is claiming a major breakthrough with the introduction of the LT4320, an ideal diode bridge controller for 9V to 72V systems that replaces each of the four diodes in a ...

Linear Technology has released a controller chip that turns four n-mosfets into an active bridge rectifier and cut the expected voltage drop of a bridge from 1.2V to under 100mV, dramatically cutting ...
