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 ...

ON Semiconductor has introduced a self-contained synchronous rectifier that helps designers achieve higher power density in switching power supply designs that previously required discrete solutions.

The most basic diagrams depicting non-isolated DC-DC converters generally show two ideal switches and an energy storage inductor. In early designs, it was quickly realized that one switch could be ...

A synchronous rectifier is an electronic switch that improves power-conversion efficiency by placing a low-resistance conduction path across the diode rectifier in a switch-mode regulator. MOSFETs ...
