"Greener" Rectifier Loses The Diodes, Adds Power MOSFETs, Efficiency
A major cause of losses in a conventional power supply using a 50/60-Hz transformer is the bridge rectifier. This article shows how to build a “greener” rectifier, substantially reducing losses by eliminating the diodes in the bridge rectifier and substituting modern low-RDS(ON) power MOSFETs. The MOSFETs used are typically employed in high-frequency switch-mode power supplies. Aside from the power MOSFETs, the circuit uses only two...
