Abstract
A synchronous rectifier includes at least a first rectifier switch arranged to switch between an on state and an off state. The synchronous rectifier also includes a controller arranged to output a first control signal for the first rectifier switch. The first control signal has a first on trigger and a first off trigger. The controller is arranged to determine the timing of at least one of the first on trigger or the first off trigger based on a reference time point and a first timing offset.
Claims20
A synchronous rectifier comprising:
- a rectifier switch configured to switch between an on state and an off state;
- and
- a controller configured to output a first control signal for the rectifier switch comprising a first on trigger and a first off trigger;
- wherein the controller is configured to determine a timing of at least one of the first on trigger or the first off trigger based on a reference time point and a first timing offset.
A method of operating a synchronous rectifier, the synchronous rectifier comprising a rectifier switch configured to switch between an on state and an off state, the method comprising:
- outputting a first control signal for the rectifier switch comprising a first on trigger and a first off trigger;
- and
- determining a timing of at least one of the first on trigger or the first off trigger based on a reference time point and a first timing offset.
