How does RDFC compare with CCM and DCM?
CCM and DCM describe how current flows and where energy is stored in the inductor/transformer of a conventional SMPS topology. With RDFC, energy is not intentionally stored in the transformer but it is transferred, just as in a linear transformer. RDFC is a novel approach offering the efficiency, no-load advantages of SMPS but with additional protection features built-in, simpler circuits and at the cost of a linear or less.
