    Abstract: A switching power converter may include a power switch coupled to a primary winding of a transformer, and a primary controller configured to turn on and off the power switch, a synchronous rectifier switch coupled to a secondary winding of a transformer, and a synchronous rectifier controller configured to turn on and off the synchronous rectifier switch. The synchronous rectifier controller may monitor a voltage across the synchronous rectifier switch. The synchronous rectifier controller may determine a period of a resonant oscillation of the voltage across the synchronous rectifier switch following at least one cycling off of the synchronous rectifier switch. The synchronous rectifier controller may adjust the minimum off-time period for the synchronous rectifier switch based on the period of the resonant oscillation. The synchronous rectifier controller may adaptively adjust a minimum off-time period for the synchronous rectifier switch.

    Abstract: A switching power converter provides regulated voltage to a load. The switching power converter comprises a transformer including a primary winding coupled to an input voltage and a secondary winding coupled to an output of the switching power converter. The switching power converter further comprises a power switch coupled to the primary winding and a rectifier coupled to the secondary winding. Current is generated in the primary winding responsive to the power switch being turned on and not generated responsive to the power switch being turned off. A detection circuit measures a voltage across the rectifier. If the detection circuit detects a decrease in the voltage across the rectifier outside of a blanking period, the detection circuit generates a current pulse in the secondary winding of the transformer.

    Abstract: A system for turning off a synchronous rectifier (SR) based on a primary switch (PS) turn-on detection in a flyback converter having a primary-side and a secondary-side is disclosed. The system comprises the PS on the primary-side, the SR on the secondary-side, a spike detector, and a SR controller. The SR is configured to produce a drain-to-source voltage (VDS). The spike detector is in signal communication with an output capacitor (Cout) on the secondary-side and the spike detector is configured to detect a voltage spike of an output voltage (VOut) across the Cout that is indicative of the PS being turned-on. The SR controller is in signal communication with the SR and the spike detector and the SR controller is configured to turn-off the SR based on the spike detector detecting the voltage spike of the VOut.

    Abstract: Disclosed is a system for determining a primary switching event in an isolated converter having a primary-side and a secondary-side. The system includes a primary-switch (PS) on the primary-side, a synchronous rectifier (SR) on the secondary-side, an integration circuit, and a SR controller. The integration circuit is in signal communication with the SR on the secondary-side and the SR controller is in signal communication with the SR and the integration circuit. The SR is configured to produce a drain-to-source voltage (VDS) and the integration circuit is configured to integrate a difference between the VDS and a output voltage (VOut) (produced by the secondary-side) over time to produce a VDS over time value (VTime). The SR controller is configured to determine if the VDS is greater than a first threshold voltage (VTH) and determine the primary switching event when the VTime is greater than a second threshold voltage (VSTH).
