GENERALIZED AC-DC SYNCHRONOUS RECTIFICATION TECHNIQUES FOR SINGLE- AND MULTI-PHASE SYSTEMS

摘要

Various circuit configurations and topologies are provided for single and multi-phase, single-level or multi-level, full and half-bridge rectifiers in which diodes are replaced by combinations of voltage-controlled self-driven active switches, current-controlled self-driven active switches and inductors in order to reduce the effects of conduction loss in the diodes.
