Synchronous rectifiers are MOSFETs, driven in such a way as to perform a rectifying function. They often take the place of diodes in the output-rectification stage of switching power converters, ...

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 ...

The FAN6230A is a secondary-side synchronous rectifier (SR) MOSFET controller for high efficiency applications. It has internal shunt regulator with low bias current and internal charge pump circuit ...

The switching speed of a power MOSFET charge-controlled device depends on the speed with which an associated gate driver circuit can charge its input capacitance. For the last 20 years, many excellent ...

After discussing the three transistor high-side buck p-mosfet driver (a recognised circuit and not mine) with some of EW’s sage commenters, I wondered once again if I could design something similar ...

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 ...

The first Schottky barrier rectifiers based on Trench MOS technology can be used in rectification circuits or as OR-ing diodes in redundant switchmode power supplies. The five devices feature low ...
