Abstract
A power converter includes a transformer, a main switch, an active clamp switch, and a primary side controller circuit. The primary side controller circuit is configured to indirectly measure a magnetizing current through the transformer during a first switching cycle of the power converter and estimate a zero-crossing point of the magnetizing current for a second switching cycle based on the indirect primary side measurement of the magnetizing current. Based on the estimated zero-crossing point, the primary side controller circuit generates an auto-tuned delay, for the second switching cycle, between disabling the main switch and enabling the active clamp switch before the zero-crossing of the magnetizing current occurs. The active clamp switch is enabled during the second switching cycle in accordance with the auto-tuned delay.
