ABSTRACT:
A synchronous rectifier control circuit improves energy conversion efficiency and uses a signal produced by a secondary winding of a transformer in a rectifier circuit to control a low-impedance and a low power consuming current switch such as a JFET and a MOSFET in a synchronous rectifier circuit to substitute a high power consuming diode rectification and appropriately rectify and extend the ON time of the current switch to prevent the positive and negative phases of the current switch to be turned on simultaneously, which will cause a large current to burn the current switch. The invention includes a protection circuit having an under voltage lock out circuit for an interrupt output function, so that if an insufficient instant power voltage occurs, the power is turned on or off to interrupt all outputs and force the current switch of the rectifier circuit to turn off, and prevent the output of an unstable working voltage of the rectifier control circuit or the abnormal operation of the current switch.
