Not sure what separates AC from DC power? This beginner-friendly guide breaks down the differences in how they flow, work, and power your world.

By manipulating the switching frequency and turns ratios of the transformer, the circuit can have an arbitrary output voltage. In this case, it is designed to take 220V AC and convert it to 8V DC.

Diodes, one-way current conductors, are used for voltage regulation, AC/DC conversion, and circuit protection. Forward-biased at 0.6V, conduct current, reverse bias blocks it.

Malvern, Pa. — Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. has released a single-chip power MOSFET and Schottky diode device that is said to improve operational efficiency by up to 6% in DC/DC conversion ...

Enabling electric vehicles to convert AC to DC is key in ensuring they can be charged easily in the average home without succumbing to the drawbacks of using inverters, the current prevailing ...
