    Abstract: A method to control a synchronous rectifier (SR) switch in a switching power supply circuit having an energy storage component coupled to the SR switch, the method is: generating a turning-ON control signal by comparing a drain-source sensing voltage of the SR switch with a turn ON threshold voltage; limiting an ON-time of the SR switch at least not less than a minimum on-time when the turning-ON control signal is asserted and an indicium signal having a first level indicating a fast mode; and removing the minimum on-time limitation to the SR switch and turning OFF the SR switch responsive to the drain-source sensing voltage of the SR switch exceeding a turn OFF threshold voltage when the turning-ON control signal is asserted and the indicium signal having a second level indicating a slow mode.

    Abstract: A switching power supply circuit with synchronous rectification has an energy storage component, a SR switch coupled to a secondary side of the energy storage component, and a secondary control circuit. The secondary control circuit has a turning-ON control circuit for providing a turning-ON control signal based on a comparison of a drain to source sensing voltage of the SR switch and a turn ON threshold, a mode determination circuit for providing a mode signal to determine a turn ON delay based on a detection to a transient event or the drain to source sensing voltage ringing of the SR switch, and a gate driver circuit for driving the SR switch. When the turning-ON control signal is asserted, the gate driver circuit charges a gate voltage of the SR switch after the turn ON delay based on the mode signal, to turn ON the SR switch.

    Abstract: A switching power supply circuit has an energy storage component, a synchronous rectifier switch and a synchronous rectifier control circuit. The synchronous rectifier switch is coupled to a secondary side of the energy storage component, and the synchronous rectifier control circuit turns ON the synchronous rectifier switch based on a drain-source voltage across the synchronous rectifier switch when a primary switch is judged as turned ON. When the switching power supply circuit is not operating in a preset mode, the primary switch is judged as turned ON when the drain-source voltage remains larger than a dynamic reference voltage during a preset window time period, and when the switching power supply circuit is operating in the preset mode, the primary switch is judged as turned ON once the drain-source voltage is larger than the dynamic reference voltage.

    Abstract: A switching power supply circuit with synchronous rectifier has an energy storage component, a rectifier switch coupled to a secondary side of the energy storage component, and a secondary side control circuit. The secondary side control circuit provides a driving signal to control the rectifier switch. When the drain-source voltage across the rectifier switch is less than a first threshold value, the secondary side control circuit controls the driving signal to be a maximum voltage to control the rectifier switch being fully on for a predetermined duration. After a predetermined duration, the secondary side control circuit adjusts the voltage of the driving signal based on the drain-source voltage across the rectifier switch and a second threshold value.
