Methods for supplying a synchronous rectifier (SR) driver circuit and supply voltage generation circuits for a SR driver circuit are described. In one embodiment, a method for supplying a SR driver circuit involves receiving a converted voltage from a secondary winding of a transformer and generating a supply voltage for the SR driver circuit based on the converted voltage, where the supply voltage is higher than an output voltage of the transformer that is generated using the secondary winding. Other embodiments are also described.
