CBRDFA4-100SURFACE MOUNT SILICON4 AMP BRIDGE RECTIFIERTYPICAL APPLICATIONSFigure 1. AC/DC Linear Regulator: The CBRDFA4-100 can provide AC to DC voltage rectification for linear regulation in any high power adapter or supply. AC voltage is converted to DC voltage and processed by a smoothing capacitor, where it then powers a linear regulator, yielding a flat DC output. Figure 2. AC/DC Switched-Mode Power Supply: The CBRDFA4-100 provides a rectified DC signal to a PWM controlled MOSFET. The MOSFET acts as a switch, passing pulses of the signal through a transformer to a half-wave rectifier, which then converts the pulsed signal to DC. This DC signal is then used in a feedback loop with an optocoupler to power the PWM. R2 (23-June 2020) w w w. c e n t r a l s e m i . c o m
