AC to DC Converter: Working Principle, Types, and Applications
Introduction An crucial electronic device that transforms alternating current (AC) into direct current (DC) is an AC to DC converter, sometimes referred to as a rectifier. Power outlets typically supply AC electricity, but the majority of electronic devices—from smartphones to…
What is SCR – Working, components, applications
What is an SCR (Silicon-Controlled Rectifier)? A four-layer semiconductor device called a silicon controlled rectifier (SCR) controls the flow of electrical power by acting as a switch. SCRs are within the category of thyristors, which are semiconductor devices used in…
IGBT working principle types circuit
What is IGBT? An IGBT, or insulated gate bipolar transistor, is a three-terminal semiconductor device that is primarily used as an electronic switch. It combines the simple gate drive characteristics of a MOSFET with the high current and low saturation…
