Active gate clamp circuit for self driven synchronous rectifiers

A DC-DC converter circuit includes a transformer with a resonate filter or snubber connected at a primary side and a switch for controlling operation of the converter. A secondary side of the transformer includes self-driven synchronous rectifiers (64,66) and an output filter. Transistors (58,60) ar...

Zusammenfassung:A DC-DC converter circuit includes a transformer with a resonate filter or snubber connected at a primary side and a switch for controlling operation of the converter. A secondary side of the transformer includes self-driven synchronous rectifiers (64,66) and an output filter. Transistors (58,60) are provided at the gate leads of the rectifiers and themselves are provided with a fixed voltage (62) at their gates so as to clamp the peak voltages across to the rectifiers.
