LINEAR SYNCHRONOUS RECTIFIER DRIVE CIRCUIT

摘要

A drive circuit arranged to drive a synchronous rectifier of a power converter includes a differential amplifier stage connected to the synchronous rectifier and arranged to supply a drive signal to the synchronous rectifier to turn the synchronous rectifier on and off and a high voltage blocking stage connected between the synchronous rectifier and the differential amplifier stage. The differential amplifier stage is arranged such that a voltage level of the drive signal depends on a load of the power converter.
