Abstract
In an example embodiment, a method comprising identifying, by a primary-side controlled Universal Serial Bus Power Delivery (USB-PD) alternating current to direct current (AC-DC) converter, a first pulse, wherein the first pulse is received from a pulse transformer. The method further includes determining that a threshold duration of time is satisfied. In response to determining that the threshold duration of time is satisfied, the method includes identifying a second pulse, wherein the second pulse is received from the pulse transformer. The first pulse and the second pulse are used for control of a high-side field effect transistor (FET) and a low-side FET, where the high-side FET is coupled to an active clamp flyback (ACF) circuit and the low-side FET is coupled to a flyback transformer of the USB-PD AC-DC converter. In response to identifying the second pulse, the method further includes controlling operation of the high-side FET or the low-side FET.
