A synchronous switching voltage regulator circuit is provided. After the first PWM pulse or at the end of a soft-start, a gradual transition is made from asynchronous rectification to fully synchronous rectification. The gradual transition to synchronous rectification is made by gradually increasing the time that the synchronous switch is enabled to be on.
