A primary-side switching circuit generates switching signals for switching
a transformer. A secondary-side switching circuit is coupled to an output
of the power converter to generate pulse signals in response to the
switching signals and an output voltage of the power converter. Pulse
signals are generated to rectify and regulate the power converter. A
synchronous switch includes a power-switch set and a control circuit. The
control circuit receives the pulse signals via capacitors for turning
on/off the power-switch set. The power-switch set is connected in between
the transformer and the output of the power converter. Furthermore, a
flyback switch is operated to freewheel the inductor current of the power
converter. The flyback switch is turned on in response to the off state
of the power-switch set. The on time of the flyback switch is
programmable and correlated to the on time of the power-switch set.
