Abstract

See full text

A control circuit for switching power converters with synchronous rectifiers is disclosed for providing start-up and shut-down protection. The control circuit for switching power converters with synchronous rectifiers includes a device for blocking the driving signals to the synchronous rectifiers, a voltage sampling circuit, a reference voltage, and a comparator. The comparator compares a sample voltage to a reference voltage to determine when to block and when to admit driving signals to the synchronous rectifiers. The control circuit for switching power converters with synchronous rectifiers is particularly useful for minimizing component damage due to start-up and shut-down transients.
