    摘要: A rectifying device comprising of a SRMOS, an inductor, and a control circuit is disclosed. The SRMOS has a gate, a drain, and a source. The gate of the SRMOS is connected to the output of the control circuit. The inductor is connected to the drain of the SRMOS. The control circuit uses two sense traces for determining the voltage (or current) passing between the inductor (that is connected to the drain) and the source of the SRMOS. Upon sensing a forward characteristic (voltage or current), the SRMOS forward biases to allow current to flow through the SRMOS. Upon sensing a reverse characteristic (voltage or current), the SRMOS reverse biases to cut off any current flow. Hysteresis is used in setting the forward biasing threshold voltage and the reverse biasing threshold voltage for the SRMOS. In reverse biasing and forward biasing the SRMOS, V.sub.gs is stepped (or curved) controlled to avoid false turn ON/OFF of the SRMOS.

    摘要: Circuits and methods are provided for operating a transistor as rectifier based upon the detected Vds of the transistor. In sensing the Vds voltage of the SRMOS, during positive conduction, the SRMOS body diode will conduct and the Vds of the SRMOS becomes that of a forward body diode voltage, which may, depending on the type of the device, be approximately -0.6V. If this voltage level is sensed, it may indicates that the SRMOS is turned off too early. During reverse conduction, Vds is non-existent (which is similar to a diode). In this case, the SRMOS may be turned off too late. Thus, by examining Vds, the SRMOS can be operated in such a manner so that it is turned off at an optimal point in time.

    摘要: A method of power factor correction is disclosed. The method uses the slope of the voltage waveform to determine the phase angle of the voltage. Based on the phase angle, a current waveform is generated that is in phase with the voltage. The slope of the voltage signal is calculated as the derivative of voltage with respect to time. The resultant current signal is in ratio with the voltage signal. Additionally, the current signal has zero or near zero phase displacement with respect to the voltage signal. Repeatedly performing the steps of the method allows a continuous current signal to be provided. As load characteristics change, the method quickly adapts the power to compensate. As a result, reliable and effective power factor correction is achieved.
