US Patent 7564705 Synchronous rectification circuit for power converters

A synchronous rectification circuit for power converters operable under fixed and/or variable frequencies where no current sense circuit or phase-lock circuit are needed is provided. It has a power switch coupled to a transformer for the rectification. A signal-generation circuit is used for generating a control signal in response to a magnetized voltage of the transformer, a demagnetized voltage of the transformer, and a magnetization period of the transformer. The control signal is coupled to turn on the power switch. The enable period of the control signal is correlated to a demagnetization period of the transformer.
