Leveraging ST’s robust silicon-on-insulator (SOI) process, the SRK1004 can control the MOSFET in either low-side or high-side ...

Power supply designers are all too familiar with the fact that the power switches are among the key contributors to overall power loss. For high current applications, this is the reason lower losses ...

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 ...

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, ...

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 ...

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 ...

Marotta Controls today announced the award of U.S. Patent No. 12,283,877 for a novel synchronous rectification technique developed by Joseph Youssef, Marotta’s Senior Director, Electrical Engineering.

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 ...

STMicroelectronics’ SRK1004 synchronous-rectifier controllers save space and increase efficiency in the secondary side of active-clamp ...
