Abstract
A synchronous rectifying circuit for a switching power supply is disclosed which is arranged such that the necessity to provide a diode element in parallel with a rectifying transistor is eliminated so that a highly efficient and stable operation can be achieved. 'On' drive signal of a switching transistor (Q1) is detected by a first limiter circuit (6), and a flip-flop circuit (5) causes a rectifying transistor (Q2) to be turned off in response to output of the first limiter circuit (6); turning-off operation of the switching transistor (Q1) is detected by a second limiter circuit (7), and the flip-flop circuit (5) causes the rectifying transistor (Q2) to be turned on in response to output of the second limiter circuit (7). The necessity to provide a diode element in parallel with the rectifying transistor is eliminated. Stable operation can be performed even if the switching element has an indefinite operation delay time. An enhanced efficiency can be achieved.
