Abstract:
A synchronous switching converter with an energy storage component and a synchronous rectifier coupled to the energy storage component, having: a secondary control circuit configured to receive a slew rate threshold adjusting signal and a voltage across the synchronous rectifier, and to provide a secondary control signal; wherein the secondary control circuit detects a slew rate of the voltage across the synchronous rectifier, and maintains the synchronous rectifier being off when the slew rate of the voltage across the synchronous rectifier is lower than a slew rate threshold.

Claim (Index 11):
The control method of  claim 10 , wherein keeping the synchronous rectifier being off when the slew rate of the voltage across the synchronous rectifier is lower than a slew rate threshold comprises:\n providing a pulse signal based on a comparison result of the voltage across the synchronous rectifier with a first threshold, wherein the pulse signal has pulses when the voltage across the synchronous rectifier decreases to the first threshold, and each pulse maintains for a time period; providing a comparison signal based on a comparison result of the voltage across the synchronous rectifier with a second threshold; and controlling the synchronous rectifier based on a logical operation to the pulse signal and the comparison signal, wherein the synchronous rectifier is turned on when the comparison signal indicates the voltage across the synchronous rectifier is lower than the second threshold during when the pulse signal has a pulse, otherwise, the synchronous rectifier is maintained being off.
