Abstract
A method for controlling a power converter includes generating a load detection signal in response to a conduction signal and a driver input signal, and generating a gate control signal in response to the load detection signal. The gate control signal is delayed by a delay amount in response to the load detection signal. An apparatus for controlling a power converter includes a gate signal control circuit generating a load detection signal in response to a conduction signal and a driver input signal, and a synchronous rectifier (SR) driver generating a gate control signal in response to the load detection signal.
