Abstract

Reducing power losses in rectifiers remains a major challenge not only for industrial AC powered devices but also for high performance, high power density systems, low voltage automotive electronics, avionics, telephony applications, green energy, and battery-powered mobile applications. One approach to solve this problem is to use active MOSFET-based rectifiers. The methodological issues of reducing losses in the rectifier device, the features of active rectifiers’ circuitry, and the existing element base presented on the market of electronic components are considered.
