Abstract:
A power factor correction (PFC) controller applied to a primary side of a power converter includes a feedback pin, a sensing pin, a current detecting circuit, an output voltage detecting circuit, and a determination circuit. The current detecting circuit is coupled to the feedback pin and the sensing pin for detecting an output current of a secondary side of the power converter according to a feedback voltage of the feedback pin and a sensing voltage of the sensing pin. The output voltage detecting circuit is coupled to the feedback pin for detecting an output voltage of the secondary side of the power converter according to the feedback voltage. The determination circuit is coupled to the current detecting circuit and the output voltage detecting circuit for turning on or turning off a PFC circuit coupled to the power converter according to the output current and the output voltage.
Abstract:
A controller with leakage current protection of a diode includes a comparison unit, a reference voltage generation unit, a time out signal generation unit, and a gate signal generation unit, wherein the diode is applied to a secondary side of a power converter. The comparison unit outputs a corresponding selection signal according to a compensation voltage and a threshold. The reference voltage generation unit outputs a corresponding reference voltage range according to the corresponding selection signal. The time out signal generation unit determines a corresponding time out according to the corresponding selection signal, and generates a corresponding time out signal when a voltage corresponding to an auxiliary winding has no peak to cross an upper limit of the corresponding reference voltage range during the corresponding time out. The gate signal generation unit enters the leakage current protection or a quasi-resonant mode according to the corresponding time out signal.
