Saturable Inductors to Limit Rectifier Reverse Recovery Current

5 Saturable Inductors to Limit Rectifier Reverse Recovery Current 

Continuous-mode converters, both forward and boost, suffer from one common problem. The output rectifiers have forward current flowing through them just 

One method to reduee this phenomenon is to add a saturable induetor in series with the output reetifier. A saturable induetor is an induetor whose eore exhibits a very square B-H eurve as exliibited by eore materials, sueh as mag-nisil and Orthanol. Induetors made with these eore materials have very high
