Abstract:
A chop-wave control circuit includes a feedback unit, a ramp generation unit, a latchup unit and a voltage transformation unit that is used on a forward transformation circuit which includes at least a main output unit and at least one auxiliary output unit. The feedback unit captures a feedback signal from an output end of the auxiliary output unit to generate a slope regulation signal. The ramp generation unit alters the trigger time sequence of the latchup unit through the slope regulation signal to set an auxiliary flywheel switch ON or OFF. The voltage transformation unit detects potential variations of the latchup unit to set a chop-wave switch ON or OFF. By controlling the auxiliary flywheel switch and the chop-wave switch a power output cycle of the auxiliary output unit can be formed.

A cycle modulation circuit capable of limiting peak voltage to provide a pulse width control signal to a rear end power driving unit includes a comparison unit, an input voltage source and a linear voltage generation unit. The comparison unit compares an oscillation waveform signal generated by the linear voltage generation unit against a base value of a waveform signal level generated by the input voltage source to modulate and output the pulse width control signal of a combined cycle consisting of a high level and a low level. The pulse width control signal is input to the rear end power driving unit to limit the power driving unit in an equal restricted voltage peak value zone and determine the allowable duty cycle according to the level waveform signal.
Abstract:
A simple zero current switch circuit includes a first coil set and a second coil set that are wound at a selected coil ratio and bridge electrically an energy storing inductor, an output diode and a conduction switch of a power-factor corrector. The leaking inductance of the first coil set generates a back electromotive force to make the conduction switch in a zero current switching condition. An energy conversion circuit is provided to store reverse energy according to the coil ratio of the second coil set and the first coil set and reclaims the energy to an output capacitor of the power-factor corrector while the output diode generates a reverse recovery condition. Thereby reverse recovery time of the output diode can be shortened.
Abstract:
The present invention discloses a method for controlling transformer excitation cycles and a circuit for controlling the same, wherein the excitation cycle and the demagnetization cycle, which determine the rise and fall of the excitation current, are modified to prevent the coil from being saturated. In the present invention, a sense current is acquired from the excitation current of the transformer coil, and a demagnetization reference value is set. The sense current is used to determine whether the excitation current is lowered to the demagnetization reference value in the demagnetization cycle. A cycle modifying circuit is used to modify the duty cycle signal output by a pulse control unit until the excitation current is lowered to a preset level.

Abstract:
A flyback circuit providing synchronized control includes a pulse width modulation (PWM) unit, a synchronized control unit and an ON period limiting unit. The PWM unit generates a driving signal to control a switch ON period of a primary winding and provides a synchronized signal prior to the generation of the driving signal that has output time series ahead the driving signal. The synchronized control unit receives the synchronized signal through an induction winding to set off a synchronized commutation switch. The ON period limiting unit starts a period limiting time series after the synchronized commutation switch has been set on. After the synchronized commutation switch is set off by the synchronized signal the ON period limiting unit is reset to an initial condition. The synchronized commutation switch maintains an ON condition until the period limiting time series end, then the ON period limiting unit generates a forced ending signal to set off the synchronized commutation switch so that the flyback circuit maintains operation at a minimum duty frequency.
