Abstract
A flyback converter includes a primary-side switch connected to a primary-side winding of a magnetic device and a secondary-side switch connected to a secondary-side winding of the magnetic device. The flyback converter is operated by controlling the primary-side switch to store energy in the magnetic device during ON periods of the primary-side switch, switching on the secondary-side switch synchronously with switching off the primary-side switch to transfer energy from the magnetic device to the secondary side, determining an off time of the secondary-side switch based on a reflected input voltage measured at the secondary-side winding when the primary-side switch is on, accounting for a settling time of the reflected input voltage when determining the off time of the secondary-side switch so that the settling time has little or no effect on the off time, and switching off the secondary-side switch based on the off time.
