Abstract

A method of controlling a synchronous rectifier circuit can include: adjusting a falling amplitude of a drive voltage of a synchronous rectifier switch in the synchronous rectifier circuit in a pull-down mode; adjusting a shielding time during which the synchronous rectifier switch is in a turn-off shielding mode and is not to be turned off; turning off the synchronous rectifier switch after a drain-source voltage of the synchronous rectifier switch reaches a turn-off threshold; and where the falling amplitude of the drive voltage in the pull-down mode and the shielding time for a current period are adjusted according to an operation state of the synchronous rectifier switch in a previous period.
