Integrated synchronous rectifier package

摘要

An integrated synchronous rectifier package comprising a controlled switching device having two main current carrying terminals and a control terminal, a control circuit for sensing the direction of current through the controlled switching device main current carrying terminals and for generating a control signal provided to the control terminal to turn on the controlled switching device when current flows in a first direction through the controlled switching device and to turn off the controlled switching device when current flows in a second opposite direction through the controlled switching device, the control circuit and controlled switching device being contained within a single package having no more than four external electrical connections.
