Latest techniques for the design and construction of high efficiency, high performance switched mode power supplies are investigated, compared with older techniques, and implemented in the optimised design of a 70 A, 54 VDC telecommunications rectifier which draws unity power factor from the AC supply while exceeding 93% conversion efficiency. A new 'lossless' snubber is introduced which combines di/dt and dv/dt limiting properties to greatly improve efficiency while using 30% fewer parts than conventional 'lossy' snubbers. Another novel approach used is the parallel combination of IGBT and MOSFET to form a hybrid power switch with a very low on-voltage and a low turn-off loss. Contrary to popular trends the switching frequency is kept low to minimise switching losses. The combination of these techniques and others discussed in the paper, yields a unit with excellent efficiency and some advantages which further benefit both manufacturer and end user.<<ETX>>
