Single winding self driven synchronous rectification(SWSDSR) scheme is based on an additional winding in the power transformer (auxiliary winding). It allows for maintaining the synchronous rectifiers on even when the voltage in the transformer is zero, which is impossible to do in traditional self-driven approaches. Its technique is verified to improve the efficiency by experiment. In this paper, there are compared self driven synchronous rectification(SDSR) with SWSDSR about the efficiency

In the following paper, the high frequency oscillation proximity sensor system, one of the sensor systems used in FA, is designed using CMOS. According to the proximity of metal objects, two differing amplitudes of sinusoidal waves are set, and by using rectifiers, dc voltages, which determine the constant current source circuit's output current levels, can be abstracted from these waves. To remove any disturbances in the dc voltage levels, a schmitt trigger is used. Some advantages of this CMOS high frequency oscillation proximity sensor are miniturization, light weight and low power disspation.

This paper presents a simple switching method to generate a PWM pattern mostly relevant to signle-phase three-level PWM rectifier. The adopted PWM switching pattern is performed in a manner similar to the space vector PWM method, which is popularly used in the three-phase rectifier and inverter. A set of possible voltages has been selected so that an equation with a time integral considered within a sampling period should be satisfied every sampling time. The simulation result shows that the proposed control scheme is good in some performance criteria such as unity power factor, low harmonic distortion of input current, dynamic response and voltage balancing of two series-connected DC capacitors.

In this paper, we have proposed a new dimmable magnetic ballast for HID(High Intensity Discharge) lamps consisted of AC switches to variate inductance value by using Silicon Controlled Rectifiers and the isolated zero current detector on inductor. Conventional dimming ballast has used relays or Solid State Relays in AC switches. However, a relay is difficult to zero current switching, because it has long operating time(10[ms]), and price competitiveness of SSR is very low. The proposed AC switches are suitable to switch at zero inductor current and it is accurately detected by using a opto-coupler. SCR is cheaper than SSR, and it is suitable to switch at zero inductor current because SCR is automatically turned off under holding current at no gate signal. Operating principles, simulation results and experimental results of the proposed ballast are described.

In this paper, a bridgeless flyback power factor correction (PFC) rectifier which uses single magnetic core is proposed. The proposed PFC rectifiers utilize bidirectional switch to handle both positive and negative input voltage without bridge diodes. A transformer with dual output windings enables the rectifier dispense with any additional magnetic component. The operation of the proposed flyback PFC rectifier is analyzed, and its higher efficiency than its conventional counterpart is verified by experiment.

To improve the power factor and reduce the harmonic contents of the system, the design of tunned filters for six-pulse thyrister converter which is used by electrolyzer system is discussed in this paper. Tunned filters are added to high-power rectifiers to keep the line current distortion within allowable limits and to improve the rectifier power factor. For electrolyzer system, the design procedure of tunned filters of AC 14.4kV power system are proposed by dynamic simulation. It is shown that these harmonic filters can meet most operational requirments. The the proposed design procedure is verified with the simulation and experimental results.

A modified boost converter with magnetic coupling is presented to reduce the reverse recovery loss while maintaining low conduction loss of the rectifiers. By utilizing a coupled inductor and a set of diodes, the current passing the boost rectifier is transferred to an auxiliary loop before turn-off, allowing low di/dt for reduced recovery loss. Moreover, the boost inductor is brought inside the bridge rectifier to reduce conduction loss by decreasing the number of conducting diodes during switch turn-off. Experimental results of a 500W prototype are provided to verify the increase in efficiency and validity of the proposed converter.

The T-type topology is a three-level topology that has an advantage in terms of its number of switching device and its efficiency when compared to the neutral-point clamped (NPC)-type topology. With the recent increase in the usage of the T-type topology, the interest in its reliability has also increased. Therefore, a tolerance control for a T-type rectifier is necessary to improve the reliability of applications when an open-switch fault occurs. NPC-type rectifiers cannot eliminate input current distortion completely. However, the T-type rectifier is able to restore distorted current. In this paper, a tolerance control for the $S_{x2}$ and $S_{x3}$ open-switch faults of a T-type rectifier is proposed where it is advantageous in terms of efficiency when compared with other tolerance controls. The performance of the proposed tolerance control is verified through simulation and experimental results.

The integrated circuits such as inverters, ring oscillators, NAND and NOR gates, and rectifiers were fabricated on PEN substrate by using pentacene TFTs. The OTFTs used bottom contact structure and produced the average mobility of $0.26\;cm^2/V.sec$ and on/off current ratio of $10^5$. All circuits worked successfully like the simulation results. Especially, the rectifier was able to operate up to 1 MHz input signals, and ring oscillator exhibited oscillation frequency of 1MHz at-40V.
