Rectifiers boost PFC efficiency

The Q-Series rectifier family is used in power factor correction (PFC) circuits that deliver from 200 to 1,000 W. Replacing a diode with this rectifier typically realizes efficiency improvements of 0.5% to 1.5% in the boost converter stage.

The devices offer low reverse-recovery charge, and consists of three devices that are rated to deliver continuous forward-current values of 3, 5, and 8 A, respectively. (Ea/50,000: LQA03TC600, $0.78; LQA05TC600, $0.88; LQA08TC600, $1.08—available now.)
