Abstract
A power supply includes a controller. The controller controls switching of a first switch and a second switch in a power supply to regulate conveyance of energy from a primary winding of a transformer to a secondary winding of the transformer to generate an output voltage. To control generation of the output voltage, the controller receives a first signal generated at a first node coupling the first switch and the second switch. As discussed herein, the controller controls activation of the first switch to an ON state depending on a magnitude of the first signal. This disclosure provides improved reliability of power supply components (such as one or more switches) because such components are no longer stressed (or overstressed) due to body diode cross conduction.
