Abstract:
A power conversion apparatus is provided. The power conversion apparatus includes a transformer, a synchronous rectification (SR) transistor and an SR control circuit. A first terminal of a primary side of the transformer receives an input voltage. A first terminal of a secondary side of the transformer provides an output voltage to a load. A first drain/source terminal of the SR transistor is coupled to a second terminal of the secondary side of the transformer. A second drain/source terminal of the SR transistor is coupled to a first ground terminal. A gate terminal of the SR transistor receives a control signal. The SR control circuit receives a signal of the first drain/source terminal of the SR transistor to determine statuses of the load and generate the control signal. When the load is a light load, the SR control circuit enters a power-saving mode and turns off the SR transistor.
