Typically, a power supply is comprised of a power transformer, which is then followed by a conventional bridge rectifier. The bridge rectifier is constructed using four diodes that are interconnected ...

I discussed the primary options (serial and parallel) for merging the outputs of multiple solar panels, the respective strengths and shortcomings of the two approaches and, in the parallel-connection ...

Fig 1. In this typical redundant power system, three power supplies interface in parallel to the system load via internal ORing diodes. Fig 2. This HFE1600 series 19-in. rack-mount redundant power ...

A subject rarely found in circuit design textbooks is the matter of nonlinear junction capacitance, especially reverse-bias junction capacitance, also called depletion capacitance. When it is ...
