Abstract: A power converter incorporating a synchronous rectifier implements adaptive turn-off voltage control for fast turn-off of the synchronous rectifier in the continuous conduction mode. In some embodiments, the synchronous rectifier turn off detection threshold is adaptively changed as a function of the detected operation mode of the power converter. In response to detecting the power converter being operated in the continuous conduction mode, the synchronous rectifier turn off detection threshold is set to a voltage value farther away from zero volt as compared to the nominal turn off detection threshold. In this manner, the synchronous rectifier can be turned off earlier while in the continuous conduction mode. When the synchronous rectifier can be turned off quickly, large reverse current or negative current as well as large drain voltage spike at the synchronous rectifier can be avoided. The reliability of the synchronous rectifier and the power converter is improved.
