Abstract:
The present invention discloses a self-excitation synchronous rectification driver, which comprises a self-excitation coil, a self-excitation driver, a synchronous-signal source, a pulse transformer, a positive/negative edge detector, and a latch unit. The synchronous-signal source generates a synchronous signal to attain an external synchronous function. When the frequency is abnormal, the first and second rectifier switches of the rectification unit of the power supply are forced to turn on or turn off. Thereby, the first and second rectifier switches can turn on alternately, and the first and second rectifier switches are limited to within the highest and lowest working frequencies during the zero-load stage or the shutdown stage. Thus, the frequency of the synchronous rectification driver is under control, and abnormal voltage will not occur.
