Abstract

The MOSFET synchronous rectification in the Active-Clamp Forward converter is presented. The Active-Clamp Forward converter has little dead time during the off time of the main switch and it is suitable for the MOSFET synchronous rectification comparing to the other Forward converter topologics. Using the MOSFET synchronous rectification on the Active-Clamp Forward converter with 3.3[V] output and 500[kHz] switching frequency, the improvement of efficiency is achieved comparing with the conventional Schottky barrier diode rectification.
