🛠️ Design Tips

• Account for the forward drop of two diodes in conduction paths of a bridge during AC‑DC conversion.
• Provide adequate heat sinking and airflow to maintain safe junction temperature at high load currents.
• Use appropriate EMI and surge protection (e.g., snubbers, MOVs) in high‑energy or inductive systems.
