Abstract

A switching power supply circuit with synchronous rectifier has an energy storage component, a rectifier switch coupled to a secondary side of the energy storage component, and a secondary side control circuit. The secondary side control circuit provides a driving signal to control the rectifier switch. When the drain-source voltage across the rectifier switch is less than a first threshold value, the secondary side control circuit controls the driving signal to be a maximum voltage to control the rectifier switch being fully on for a predetermined duration. After a predetermined duration, the secondary side control circuit adjusts the voltage of the driving signal based on the drain-source voltage across the rectifier switch and a second threshold value.
