  • Patent number: 10651749
    Abstract: A converter includes a transformer, a main switch, an active clamping circuit, a synchronous rectifying switch and a processing circuit. The transformer includes a primary winding and a secondary winding. The main switch is coupled to the primary winding. The active clamping circuit clamps the voltage across the main switch when it is OFF. The active clamping circuit includes an auxiliary switch. The synchronous rectifying switch is coupled to the secondary winding. The processing circuit determines whether the rectifying switch is in a main conducting period or a sub conducting period according to a first voltage signal across the rectifying switch and at least one detecting signal from the converter, and generates a driving signal to control the synchronous rectifying switch accordingly.
