‘Synchronous Rectifier’
An Electronicstalk guide
Start with the news release International Rectifier offers automotive MOSFETs from International Rectifier, which we summarised at the time by saying "International Rectifier has expanded its offering of 40 to 100V automotive-qualified MOSFETs, including a range of logic level devices. ". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Power-management controller for standard MOSFETs from Texas Instruments: "Texas Instruments has introduced a power-management controller and driver for standard and logic-level N-channel MOSFETs used for low-voltage, secondary-side synchronous rectification. ".
In December 2010, we covered the news from Cypress Semiconductor - take a look at QDR and DDR SRAMs for reducing power consumption which says: "Cypress Semiconductor has announced Quad Data Rate (QDR) and Double Data Rate (DDR) SRAMs at 36-Mbit and 18-Mbit densities, for networking use in medical imaging and military signal-processing.".
Take a look also at the news release from Texas Instruments, TPS54618 for DSP- and FPGA-based communications, as well as Synchronous buck regulator for POL applications from Semtech, and Mosfet designed for 4.5V switching applications from NXP Semiconductors.
