1. A chipset comprising:
a first primary controller comprising:
control and drive circuitry;
a high speed oscillator having integrated feed forward compensation providing immediate duty cycle adjustment while maintaining a constant oscillator frequency up to 1 MHz;
a soft start circuit;
a band gap circuit coupled to the soft start circuit to produce an accurate reference;
a pulse width modulation circuit coupled to the soft start circuit;
an output circuit coupled to the pulse width modulation circuit, wherein the output circuit feeds the output of the first primary controller;
a secondary controller to provide rectification signals coupled to the first primary controller, the secondary controller comprising:
a band gap circuit for producing an accurate reference coupled to a Schmitt trigger, a comparator, a bias net circuit and an over-voltage lockout circuit; and
at least two latches coupled to at least two detectors, wherein the latches are coupled to the Schmitt trigger;
a first gate driver connected to the first primary controller; and
a second gate driver connected to the secondary controller;
the first gate driver driving at least two MOSFETs, and
the first primary controller in communication with the secondary controller.
