1. A synchronous rectifier network unit of a power converter, the synchronous rectifier network unit comprising:
- a coil;
a first body diode of a first transistor, the first body diode being coupled to a terminal of the coil and to which a current flows at a first time instance when the current is generated to flow through the coil;
the first transistor coupled to the terminal of the coil and configured to turn on when the first body diode conducts; and
a rectification controller configured to rectify the current by differently controlling the turn-off time of the first transistor according to the current, the rectification controller including a current conducting detector configured to detect a time when the first body diode is conducted.

Abstract
A synchronous rectifier network unit and synchronous rectifying method. The synchronous rectifier network unit includes a first body diode to which a first current flows at a first time when the first current flows to a first coil, and a first transistor which is turned on after the first body diode is conducted, and to which the first current flows, and it rectifies the first current by differently controlling the turn-off time of the first transistor according to the first current.
