Synchronous switching power converters give better performance than nonsynchronous converters in low output voltage, high output current systems applications. Ensuring the proper timing of the gate drive signals for the SRs is an important task that designers must address to maximize converter performance.
Isolated power converter with output synchronous rectification. Using SR in isolated converters can improve their performance significantly. All isolated topologies: forward, flyback, push-pull, half and full bridge (current and voltage fed), can be synchronously rectified.
However, since the MOSFET can work as synchronous rectifier, the freewheeling diode only conducts during the dead time, leading to a low utilization rate of device. In this work, the three-phase SiC inverter using synchronous rectification is investigated. The analytical model for inverter power loss with and without freewheeling diode is built.
But first, what is synchronous rectification, and what role does it play in increasing the efficiency of current rectification? Synchronous rectification is a method that reduces conduction losses in the freewheeling path by replacing the diode PN-junction voltage drop with the resistive channel of a MOSFET.
It also showed that ANPC benefits the most from synchronous rectification at high output power, leading to fewer losses and higher efficiency. At lower output power, the advantages of synchronous rectification are less due to the low freewheeling current.
