International Rectifier's SmartRectifier IC Wins EDN Innovation of the Year Award.EL SEGUNDO El Segundo (ĕl sēgŭn`dō), industrial city (1990 pop. 15,223), Los Angeles co., S Calif., on Santa Monica Bay; inc. 1917. Its products include navigation and computer systems, aircraft parts, office machines, telephone apparatus, and , Calif. -- International Rectifier International Rectifier Corp. (NYSE: IRF) is a manufacturer of power semiconductors (MOSFET, IGBT, diodes and thyristors), located in El Segundo, California, USA. It has a market capitalization of 2.48 billion USD and is listed on the S&P Midcap 400. , IR[R](NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange :IRF IRF Interferon Regulatory Factor IRF International Religious Freedom IRF Institut for Rationel Farmakoterapi (German) IRF Inherited Rights Filter (Novell) IRF Inherited Rights Filter ), a world leader in power management technology, today announced the company's SmartRectifier[TM] IC has won an EDN Innovation of the Year Award. Winning in the Power IC category, the IR1167 SmartRectifier IC simplifies secondary-side synchronous rectification (SR) for AC-DC power converters and improves power density for high-power flyback The term “flyback” may refer to
(2) (Policy Decision Point) See COPS and XACML. (3) (Programmed Data P digital televisions, game systems and other digital computing and home entertainment systems. The IR1167 implements a simple, highly efficient method of secondary-side synchronous rectification (SR). The IC is independent of the primary-side controller. It uses IR's proprietary HVIC HVIC High-Voltage Integrated Circuit technology for directly sensing and controlling secondary-side rectification. The IC can control a wide array of standard- or logic-level, 30-200V power MOSFETs. In addition to controlling high-power flyback secondary sections, the SmartRectifier is the first commercial IC for resonant half-bridge converters. Compared to discrete current-transformer-based designs, the IR1167 increases power-subsystem efficiency by at least 1% while reducing board area, component count, and system cost.
