A synchronous rectification circuit for a power supply includes a power switch for coupling to a secondary winding of a transformer of the power supply and an output capacitor of the power supply. The power switch includes a four-terminal MOSFET having a source, a drain, a gate, and a body. A body diode is formed by a junction between the body and the drain or by a junction between the body and the source. The body diode is coupled in parallel to the source and drain of the power transistor. A control circuit is configured to provide a control signal for controlling an on/off state of the power switch in response to a voltage condition of two terminals of the power switch. When the body diode makes a transition from reverse bias to forward bias, the control circuit causes the MOSFET to turn on, and when the forward bias voltage drops below a reference voltage, the control circuit causes the MOSFET to turn off. When the body diode makes a transition from forward bias to reverse bias, the control circuit causes the MOSFET to turn off.
