Abstract
In one example, a circuit for controlling synchronous rectification includes a first current compensation module, a second current compensation module, and a control module. The first current compensation module is configured to provide a first current into parasitic capacitance at a drain pin when a drain of a synchronous rectifier draws current from the parasitic capacitance. The drain pin is coupled to the drain of the synchronous rectifier via a resistor. The first current compensation module is further configured to generate a triggering signal using the first current. The second current compensation module is configured to draw a second current from the parasitic capacitance when the drain of the synchronous rectifier provides current into the parasitic capacitance and generate an arming signal using the second current. The control module is configured to activate the synchronous rectifier using the triggering signal and the arming signal.
