Emphasis is placed on forward and flyback converters.
The efficiency improvements of employing synchronous rectification are theoretically derived and experimentally verified in forward and flyback converters. The performances of synchronous rectifiers in forward converters are analyzed with regards to transformer reset and SR driven method. The effectiveness of synchronous rectification in flyback converters is evaluated in various operation modes and control schemes. Current sharing in transformer paralleling is addressed and evaluated in forward topology. The thermal management of high-density power supplies in sealed enclosures is optimized using computational fluid dynamics simulations.
