Power Tips #136: Design an active clamp circuit for rectifiers at a high switching frequency
Introduction In vehicle electrical systems, a high- to low-voltage DC/DC converter is a reversible electronic device that changes the DC from the vehicle’s high-voltage (400 V or 800 V) battery to a lower DC voltage (12 V). These converters can be unidirectional or bidirectional. Power levels from 1 kW to 3 kW are typical, with…
