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 ...

A new approach to designing a synchronous rectifier will help engineers unlock efficiency gains that extend beyond ...

Synchronous rectification is being used to improve performance in an increasing number of ac/dc power supply applications, as tougher ecodesign targets drive designers to achieve further gains in ...

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 ...

STMicroelectronics has introduced a new family of ultra‑compact synchronous‑rectifier controllers designed to improve efficiency and reduce component count in flyback power converter designs. The ...

ST’s SRK1004 synchronous-rectifier controllers save space and increase efficiency in the secondary side of active-clamp, resonant, and quasi-resonant flyback (ACF, AHB, QR) converters for chargers, ...

Diodes has announced ZXGD3113, a synchronous rectifier controller intended to work with a mosfet to replace the voltage drop associated with a Schottky diode on the secondary side of an isolated power ...
