    摘要: A method and a control unit for changing a working mode of a synchronous rectifier. The synchronous rectifier comprises at least one controllable switch having a diode in parallell thereof. The synchronous rectifier is operatively connected to a reactive circuit, and is arranged to receive at least one control signal at a control terminal, for controlling at least one controllable switch. The at least one control signal is pulse-width modulated with a defined duty-cycle. The method comprises adjusting the pulse-width of the at least one control signal between zero percent duty-cycle and the defined duty-cycle at a frequency above a cut-off frequency of the reactive circuit. Thereby, reducing the effect of a forward voltage drop over said diode in the synchronous rectifier.

    摘要: A control circuit generates a control signal to control a duty cycle of a switched mode power supply such that the magnetic flux density in the transformer is balanced, thereby preventing saturation of the transformer core. This permits the use of unsymmetrical duty cycles within the switch cycle. The control circuit comprises a flux density calculator and a regulator. The flux density regulator receives a signal indicative of the input voltage of the switched mode power supply and a feedback signal comprising the generated control signal, and it generates therefrom an average flux density signal. The regulator receives the generated average flux density signal and a signal indicative of the output voltage of the switched mode power supply, and generates the control signal in dependence upon the average flux density signal, the reference flux density signal, the signal indicative of the output voltage and a reference voltage signal.
