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 ...

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 ...

This paper provides details of MOSFET switching action in applications with clamped inductive load, when used as a secondary synchronous rectifier, and driving pulse/gate drive transformers. Potential ...

Modern power conversion requires ever-increasing efficiency combined with high power density. In fact, making a small high-efficiency system means saving space and reducing energy consumption, which ...
