Systems for power conversion, and controllers and methods for operating a power converter. The method includes receiving high-side and low-side primary signals that drive primary transistors of a power converter. The method also includes receiving a combined drain voltage signal for high-side and low-side synchronous rectifier (SR) transistors of the power converter. The method further includes generating a high-side SR signal based on the low-side primary signal and generating a low-side SR signal based on the high-side primary signal. The method also includes determining high-side and low-side body diode conduction times based on the combined drain voltage signal. The method further includes adjusting the high-side SR signal based on the high-side body diode conduction time and adjusting the low-side SR signal based on the low-side body diode conduction time.

Synchronous rectification control in LLC topology

Methods for operating an interleaved resonant power converter, and systems and apparatuses for power conversion. The method includes generating a first pair of complementary signals to drive a first stage of the interleaved resonant power converter. The method also includes generating a second pair of complementary signals to drive a second stage of the interleaved resonant power converter. The method further includes generating a current-mode control signal based on a current sense signal of the first stage. The method also includes adjusting a switching frequency of the first pair of complementary signals based on the current-mode control signal. The method further includes adjusting a switching frequency of the second pair of complementary signals to match the switching frequency of the first pair of complementary signals.
