Abstract:
Integrated circuits for controlling power supplies and relevant control methods are disclosed. A controller generates a control signal to control a power switch. A feedback pin of an integrated circuit receives an external feedback signal representing an output voltage signal of a power supply. Controlled by the control signal, a transferring circuit transfers the feedback signal to the controller when the power switch is off. When the power switch is on, a clamping circuit clamps the voltage of the feedback signal at a predetermined value to avoid the controller from being influenced by the feedback signal.

A charging device with boundary mode control is disclosed. The charging device includes a transformer, a power switch, a detection circuit and a pulse-width modulation (PWM) controller. The power switch is electrically connected to one end of a primary-side winding of the transformer. The detection circuit is electrically connected to the primary-side winding and the power switch. The detection circuit detects the resonance of the parasitic capacitance of the power switch, thereby generating a detection signal for boundary mode control. The PWM controller generates a pulse-width modulation signal for driving the power switch, and turns on the power switch according to the detection signal.
Abstract:
A pulse width modulation (PWM) control circuit is applied to a power converter with a charging capacitor. The PWM control circuit includes a PWM signal generator, a first comparator, and a reference voltage modulator. A PWM signal generator generates a PWM signal to control a power switch in the power converter. Two input terminals of the first comparator respectively receive a first reference voltage and a sensing voltage, which is proportional to a primary-side current of a transformer. When the power switch is turned on and the sensing voltage rises to the level of the first reference voltage, the first comparator outputs a first control signal to the PWM signal generator. Then, the PWM signal generator outputs a signal to turn off the power switch. The reference voltage modulator outputs the first reference voltage according to a feedback voltage relative to the output voltage of the power converter.

Abstract:
Power supplies and related methods capable of reducing output voltage ripple. A power supply provides an output voltage to a load and controls the output voltage to approach a target voltage. The output voltage is compared with the target voltage to generate a control signal, which controls an output current of the power supply. When the control signal causes an increase in the output current, the target voltage is reduced.
