  • Abstract
    Complete steady-state analysis of a forward power converter with a current-doubler rectifier is provided. The advantages and disadvantages of this topology, as compared to the conventional forward power converter, are discussed. Step-by-step design guidelines are also outlined. Finally, experimental evaluation results obtained on a 3.3 V, 50 A DC/DC power converter prototype for the 40-60 V input-voltage range are presented.
