How to Optimize the Efficiency Performance of a Flyback Converter Using the MAX17606

Oct 4 2022

Furqan explains why a discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) flyback converter, using a secondary-side rectification diode, is unsuitable for low-voltage high-current applications. He then proposes a high-efficiency solution where a MOSFET, controlled by the MAX17606 synchronous MOSFET driver, replaces the secondary-side diode.
