Abstract
A synchronous rectifier controller for controlling the on and off periods of a synchronous rectifier switch transistor in a switching power converter. In particular, the synchronous rectifier controller is configured to adaptively enable and disable a deglitch filter for filtering a turn-on signal for the synchronous rectifier switch transistor. In this fashion, the synchronous rectifier switch transistor may be switched on more rapidly during periods when the deglitch filter is disabled for greater efficiency yet the switching power converter is protected by the deglitch filter when it is not disabled.
