  • Patent number: 9979271
    Abstract: In a power converter, switch-off of the synchronous rectification switch while the auxiliary switch is on causes the first capacitance of the main switch and the second capacitance of the synchronous rectification switch to resonate with the inductance of the second magnetic component. A parameter obtainer detects a voltage across a selected one of the main switch and the synchronous rectification switch, and obtains a parameter indicative of a corresponding one of rising and falling waveforms of the voltage across the selected switch while the selected switch is switched. A controller controls a switching control signal for the auxiliary switch to adjust switch-on timing of the auxiliary switch as a function of the parameter obtained by the parameter obtainer.
