Improving Power Conversion Efficiency with Super Barrier Rectifiers

For the design of almost any electronics or electrical system, it’s important to maximise power efficiency. In mobile devices, better power efficiency delivers longer battery life, which is a key selling point. For basically any application, improving power efficiency means that size and weight can be reduced, and thermal management simplified – thus reducing costs. Of course, using less power also helps products to meet energy rating requirements, which may be a legal requirement, and an attractive feature for customers.
