You can combine a carefully chosen op amp, a low-threshold P-channel MOSFET, and two feedback resistors to make a rectifier circuit with less forward drop than a diode (Figure 1). The rectified output ...
Yesterday’s idea for a Cuk converter synchronous rectifier drive (right) seems to work, according to my use of LTspice. Yesterday’s idea for a Cuk converter synchronous rectifier drive (right) seems ...
When powering a battery operated circuit, the experimenter must make a decision: either take his chances (Murphy loves this one), or opt to add protection in the form of a simple series diode.
