Cree's 2A Zero Recovery rectifier has been named an Ultimate Product and finalist in CMP Technology's EE Times third Annual Creativity in Electronics (ACE) Awards.

Cree's 2A Zero Recovery rectifier has been named an Ultimate Product and finalist in CMP Technology's EE Times third Annual Creativity in Electronics (ACE) Awards.

Cree's silicon carbide 2A Zero Recovery rectifier operates at 600V and was selected as a finalist due to its ability to address the increasing need for higher power efficiency and sise reduction in power supplies designed for desktop PCs.

By replacing silicon-based rectifiers with the new 2A SiC Zero Recovery rectifier, manufacturers can simplify power supply design and reduce size by as much as a third.

"We are honoured that our silicon carbide rectifier is considered an Ultimate Product of the Year by the readers of EE Times", said John Palmour, Cree Executive Vice President for Advanced Devices.

"We continue to advance our SiC power devices and are pleased that Cree is being acknowledged for addressing the needs of the power-supply design industry".
