Abstract
The disclosure provides a method for enabling synchronous rectification in a converter, such as, but not limited to a CLLLC circuit. The converter includes a primary side circuit, a transformer, and a secondary side circuit. The method includes receiving a signal indicative of a current from the transformer to the secondary side circuit and measuring a duty cycle of the signal. The duty cycle includes a first pulse width being above a reference voltage and a second pulse width being below the reference voltage. The method also includes determining a difference between the first pulse width and the second pulse width and adjusting the reference voltage based on the determined difference.
