  • Publication number: 20250132687
    Abstract: A controller of a synchronous rectifier of a synchronous flyback converter is presented. The synchronous rectifier includes a switch that is switchable by the controller. The controller includes an adaptive slew rate detection circuit that is configured to add a current to a base slew rate current depending on an off-time of the switch to obtain a slew rate current. The slew rate current determines a slew rate setting voltage. The controller is configured to turn on the switch of the synchronous rectifier depending on the slew rate setting voltage.

  • Publication number: 20250055381
    Abstract: An electronic rectifier circuit for adaptive gate voltage regulation of a synchronous rectifier field-effect transistor is provided, the electronic rectifier circuit is configured to clamp a drain-source voltage of the SR FET to a first regulation voltage while the SR FET is switched on for less than a threshold time in a current switching cycle, and the electronic rectifier circuit is configured to clamp the Vds of the SR FET to a second regulation voltage while the SR FET is switched on for more than the threshold time in the current switching cycle, the threshold time is configured as a portion of time that the SR FET was switched on in one or more previous switching cycles, and Vreg2 is smaller than Vreg1.

  • Patent number: 10959298
    Abstract: One example includes a light-emitting diode (LED) system. The LED system includes an LED array comprising a plurality of LEDs that are each activated via an LED current provided therethrough to provide illumination. The system also includes an LED controller configured to sequentially activate the plurality of LEDs via at least one LED driver system configured to selectively provide the LED current through each sequential one of the plurality of LEDs in an activated state in response to an activation signal. The at least one LED driver system includes a voltage clamp configured to maintain a substantial constant amplitude difference of a driver voltage associated with the LED current from the activated state to a deactivated state.
