<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a fault-tolerant synchronous rectifier PWM regulator system and method. <P>SOLUTION: In such a system 200 and method, a force-commutated synchronous rectifier is operable to be coupled to an electrical bus, and a low side switch Q1 is operable to be coupled to a common ground. In addition, a first fuse F1 is coupled to the force-commutated synchronous rectifier S1 and the low side switch Q1, and is operable to open in response to a first fault. Furthermore, an inductor L1 is coupled to the first fuse F1, the force-commutated synchronous rectifier S1 and the low side switch Q1, and a second fuse F2 is coupled to the inductor L1 and is operable to be coupled to a current source and to open in response to a second fault. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
