Abstract
A DC/DC converter employing synchronous rectification includes an energy transfer switch, a diode, a synchronous switch, a processor and a memory subsystem. The processor estimates a diode conduction time and provides a control signal to the synchronous switch to cause the synchronous switch to conduct for a period of time equal to the estimated diode conduction time.
