ABSTRACT:
A forward converter circuit that includes synchronous rectifiers as the forward and freewheeling rectifying elements in the output stage. The forward converter also includes a drive circuit for the synchronous rectifiers. The drive circuit includes an auxiliary secondary winding on the power transformer which is used to generate the gate control signal for the forward synchronous rectifier and an auxiliary winding on the output inductor which is used to generate the gate control signal for the freewheeling synchronous rectifier. An auxiliary switch is used to turn off the freewheeling rectifier, with the switch operating in response to the gate drive signal for the power switch.
