Synchronous Rectification for Forward Converters

In many switching power converters, rectifier diodes are used to obtain the DC output voltage. The conduction loss of a diode rectifier contributes significantly to the overall power loss, especially for low-voltage, high-current converter applications. The conduction loss of a rectifying diode is given by the product of its forward-voltage drop and forward conduction current.
By replacing the rectifier diode with a MOSFET operated as a synchronous rectifier (SR), the equivalent forward-voltage drop can be lowered and, consequently, the conduction loss can be reduced.
