Abstract:
A Synchronous Rectifier (SR) controller circuit includes a dead time evaluation circuit, an offset voltage controller circuit, an off threshold control circuit, and a comparator circuit. The dead time evaluation circuit produces an indication of whether a measured dead time of an SR switching device is less than a target dead time. The offset voltage controller circuit determines an offset count using the indication, an offset voltage using the offset count, and high and low saturation indicators according to the offset count. The off threshold control circuit determines a threshold count using the high and low saturation indicators and an off threshold voltage using the threshold count. The comparator circuit determines whether a measured voltage of the SR switching device is greater than a virtual off threshold voltage, the virtual off threshold voltage corresponding to the off threshold voltage minus the offset voltage.

Claim (Index 11):
The controller circuit of  claim 10 , wherein the clock circuit comprises:\n a saturation detection circuit to produce a saturation signal using a logical OR of the high saturation signal and the low saturation signal; and a counter circuit to produce the clock signal by counting assertions of the conduction signal when the saturation signal is asserted.
