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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

The flyback is a logical choice when choosing a system topology that must generate multiple outputs from a single power supply. Since the voltage across each transformer winding is proportional to the ...
