IR's Paul Schimel explains how power factor correction (PFC) allows a piece of electronics to draw higher line power. A good friend of mine in the professional audio business recently said that audio ...

The input power factor and current THD of an LED lamp are becoming important performance parameters as they provide direct means of comparison between the quality of power drawn by emerging ...

Power factor correction (PFC) converters play a pivotal role in modern power electronics by ensuring an optimised alignment between the input current and the supply voltage. This alignment enhances ...

Poor power factor associated with electronic power conversion equipment is caused by nonlinear circuit elements. In most off-line power supplies, the ac/dc front end consists of a bridge rectifier ...

The course consists of three weeks of materials and is focused on modeling and control of grid-tied power electronics. Upon completion of the course, you will be able to understand, analyze, model, ...

A merged-structure device combining pn junction and Schottky operating modes in one diode addresses design challenges in single-phase boost converters while reducing component and system costs.

Diodes Incorporated has introduced the DSR8F600 600V 8A hyper-fast rectifier, designed for use as a boost diode for power-factor correction (PFC) and continuous conduction mode applications. It can be ...
