Many of today’s switching power supplies implement synchronous rectifiers to improve efficiency. In isolated topologies, the power-supply controller typically is located on the primary side of the ...

To meet the high level of efficiency required by increasingly stringent standards, synchronous rectification is now widely used in power conversion. The revolutionary design of the InnoSwitch family ...

Power supplies that use diodes to rectify an ac voltage to obtain a dc voltage must deal with inherent inefficiencies. A standard diode or ultra-fast diode can have a 1-V forward voltage or higher at ...

ST has introduced a pair of autonomous secondary-side synchronous-rectification controllers for fly-back converters, suitable for quasi-resonant and continuous-discontinuous conduction fixed frequency ...

Technology developed for driving synchronous FETs in flyback topologies can be directly applied in LLC topologies. This technology offers significant gains in efficiency for applications with low ...
