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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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, ...

[Electronoobs] is using some brushless motors to make a DIY wind turbine. His recent video isn’t about the turbine itself, but a crucial electronic part: the three-phase rectifier. The reason it is so ...
