What is Forward?
The term "Forward" is too ambiguous to describe a specific technology without more context. It's a common word used in many technological contexts. To provide a useful explanation, I need more information about what "Forward" refers to. For example, is it related to networking (port forwarding), programming (forward declaration), or some other field?
What other technologies are related to Forward?
Forward Competitor Technologies
Half-Bridge
A half-bridge converter is an alternative DC-DC topology that can be used in similar applications as Forward converters.
Flyback
A flyback converter is another isolated DC-DC topology that can be used in many of the same applications as Forward converters.
Push-Pull
A push-pull converter is an isolated DC-DC topology that is a possible alternative to a Forward converter.
full-bridge
No summary available
A full-bridge converter is an isolated DC-DC topology and provides another alternative to a Forward converter, especially at higher power levels.
Cuk
No summary available
The Cuk converter is a DC-DC converter topology that can perform similar voltage conversion functions as a Forward converter, but using a different circuit structure.
Sepic
The SEPIC converter is a DC-DC converter topology capable of both buck and boost functionality. It may be selected rather than a Forward converter, depending on design requirements.
Buck
Buck converters perform step-down DC-DC conversion. While Forward converters also perform step-down DC-DC conversion, Forward converters are isolated, while Buck converters are non-isolated. This difference makes them a viable alternative in specific applications.
buck-boost
Buck-boost converters perform both step-up and step-down DC-DC conversion. These are non-isolated, while the Forward converter is isolated, so they are alternatives in specific applications.
