Rectifier enables smaller cooler
supplies
Smart rectifier IC uses a new technique for precise, direct sensing of voltage thresholds across the SR MOSFETs, allowing fast, accurate control to minimise power losses.
The IR1166 SmartRectifier from International Rectifier is an eight-pin IC that simplifies the design of mid-power secondary synchronous rectification (SR) circuits of resonant half-bridge convertors and flyback convertors designed for 50-150W discontinuous conduction mode (DCM), critical conduction mode (CrCM), and continuous conduction mode (CCM) Enabling smaller and cooler supplies the IR1166 is used for AC/DC power convertors in laptops, mini-PCs, LCD and PDP televisions, game systems, home theatre audio, motor drive, and other digital computing and home entertainment systems
