A synchronous rectifier control circuit for controlling a synchronous rectifier of a power converter is disclosed. According to one embodiment, the control circuit includes a differentiator circuit responsive to the output voltage of the power converter. The control circuit also includes a summing circuit responsive to an output of the differentiator circuit and a step function signal. The control circuit further includes an integrator circuit responsive to an output of the summing circuit. In addition, the control circuit includes a gate drive circuit responsive to an output of the integrator circuit and a switching signal that controls a primary switch of the converter. The gate drive circuit also includes an output terminal for coupling to a control terminal of the synchronous rectifier.
