    Abstract: A driving circuit and driving method for driving a synchronous rectifier. When a drain-source detecting voltage between a drain terminal and a source terminal of the synchronous rectifier reaches a second reference voltage, the driving voltage applied at a gate terminal of the synchronous rectifier is decreased to regulate the drain-source detecting voltage to a first reference voltage. The first reference voltage is lower than the second reference voltage. And when the drain-source detecting voltage reaches an off reference voltage, the synchronous rectifier is turned off.

    Abstract: A supply voltage generating circuit for generating a supply voltage signal to supply the active elements of an AC-DC voltage converter. The supply voltage generating circuit has a charging switch, a charging diode and a charging capacitor. When a main switch of the AC-DC voltage converter is turned on, the charging switch is turned on. Primary current flows through the charging switch and the main switch to the logic ground. When the main switch is turned off and the voltage across the charging capacitor is smaller than a charging threshold, the charging switch is kept on for a period of time and the primary current flows through the charging switch and the charging diode to the charging capacitor. When the period of time is expired or the supply voltage signal is larger than the charging threshold signal, the charging switch is turned off.

    Abstract: A timing circuit used in lighting systems includes a first logic circuit, a first counter, a latching circuit and a judging circuit. The first logic circuit generates a first logic signal and a second logic signal based on a falling edge of a detecting signal. The first counter generates a first counting signal and a second counting signal based on the second logic signal, wherein the counting period of the first counting signal is longer than that of the second counting signal. The latching circuit samples and holds the first counting signal based on the first logic signal and provides a third counting signal. The judging circuit detects whether the second counting signal is equal to the third counting signal and provides a timing signal.

    Abstract: A driving circuit for driving a synchronous rectifier device. The driving circuit may include a controllable clamping circuit having a first terminal coupled to a sensing terminal of the driving circuit, a second terminal coupled to a reference ground terminal of the driving circuit, a third terminal coupled to a driving terminal of the driving circuit, and a control terminal configured to receive a supply indication signal indicative of a voltage potential at a supply terminal of the driving circuit. The third terminal of the controllable clamping circuit may be connected to the second terminal of the controllable clamping circuit when the supply indication signal indicates that the voltage potential at the supply terminal has not been established to maintain the synchronous rectifier device off.
