In many switching power supply converters, diode rectifiers are used to obtain the DC output voltage. The conduction loss of these diodes rectifier contributes significantly to the overall power loss, especially for low-voltage, high-current converter applications. The conduction loss of rectifying diode is given by the product of its forward-voltage drop and forward conduction current. By replacing the diode rectifiers with a MOSFET operating as a synchronous rectifier (SR), the equivalent forward-voltage drop can be lowered and, consequently, the conduction loss can be reduced because the switching power supply converter need high efficiency. The double forward converter with synchronous rectification is proposed in this paper. The circuit’s guidelines of the double forward controller in the double forward converter and the synchronous rectifier controller in the synchronous rectification are also presented. Validity of the proposed double forward converter with synchronous is confirmed by simulations.

The Forward Switch mode power supply is good selection for power supplies of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). Compared with the conventional forward converter, there is one auxiliary switch in the active clamp forward converter to recycle the energy stored in the transformer leakage in order to minimize the voltage stress of the main switch. The power system is designed and the operation characteristics of the active switching power supply are revealed by analysis a typical second-order system in this paper. Active Clamp Forward Converter reduce the generation of EMI, the EMC of UAV equipment is greatly improved. The results of the analysis are verified by SPICE simulation.

Nowadays, the development of Power Electronics is very quickly. High frequency switching power supply has been widely used in many fields because of its advantages, such as high efficiency, low volume and low cost etc. this paper focuses on the research of DC-DC transform technology in switching power supply. In the foundation of the traditional forward converter, an active clamp forward converter based on one-cycle control is designed. The control IC is IR1150 based on one cycle control technique. The results show that the converter can effectively eliminate the interference of power ripple and switch error. The control method is simple and reliable. The peripheral circuit is easy to realize.

We present our recent developments in 4H-SiC power DMOSFETs. 4H-SiC DMOSFETs with a room temperature specific on-resistance of 3.7 mΩ-cm2 with a gate bias of 20 V, and an avalanche voltage of 1550 V with gate shorted to source, was demonstrated. A threshold voltage of 3.5 V was extracted from the power DMOSFET, and a subthreshold swing of 200 mV/dec was measured. The device was successfully scaled to an active area of 0.4 cm2, and the resulting device showed a drain current of 377 A at a forward voltage drop of 3.8 V at 25oC.
