  • Abstract
    It is well known that the current doubler rectifier is very suitable for low voltage (1V-2V) and very high current (50A-100A) dc-dc converters. However, at lower current applications (30A, 20A, 10A), it is not clear which is the more appropriate rectifier the current doubler or the center tapped. The goal of this paper is to identify the application area of these rectifiers. The output current together the output current ripple/output current ratio (ΔI/IO) are important parameters to select the more suitable rectifier.
