Abstract:
The present invention provides an apparatus for controlling a capacitor charging circuit and a method thereof. The apparatus includes a first comparator, a second comparator, and a controller. The first comparator, which is coupled to the charging circuit, receives a voltage level and compares the voltage level with a reference voltage level to generate a first indication signal. The voltage level corresponds to an output voltage of the charging circuit. The second comparator receives a control value and compares the control value with a threshold value to generate a second indication signal. The controller, which is coupled to the charging circuit, the first comparator and the second comparator, generates a control signal according to the first indication signal and the second indication signal to turn the charging circuit on and off, and further generates the control value according to the control signal.
Abstract:
A switch controller for switching power supply is coupled to an auxiliary winding of the switching power supply through a detecting resistor. The switch controller provides a detecting current passing through the detecting resistor for keeping the voltage level of a detecting signal transmitted by the detecting resistor higher than a predetermined voltage. In this way, the switch controller can avoid the latch-up phenomenon caused by receiving the detecting signal of the negative voltage level. In addition, the switch controller can detect the magnitude of an input voltage of the switching power supply by means of the detecting current, and accordingly control the operation of the switching power supply.

A voltage converter for providing an output voltage signal at an output port according to an input voltage signal is disclosed. The voltage converter comprises a feedback circuit, a transmission switch circuit, a voltage converting circuit, and a pre-bias circuit. The feedback circuit generates a feedback voltage signal according to the output voltage signal. The transmission switch circuit selectively transmits a converted voltage signal to the output port of the voltage converter in a normal mode or transmits the input voltage signal to the output port of the voltage converter in a pre-bias mode. The voltage converting circuit converts the input voltage signal into the converted voltage signal in the normal mode and references the feedback voltage signal and the reference voltage signal to adjust the output voltage signal in the normal mode. The pre-bias circuit controls a magnitude of a current passing through the transmission switch circuit.
Abstract:
A high voltage charging circuit includes an activation control circuit, an inactivation control circuit and a power transistor. The activation control circuit is used for controlling an ON time period of the power transistor to enable the transformer to store excited-magnetic energy; the inactivation control circuit is used for controlling an OFF time period of the power transistor to make the transformer to release the excited-magnetic energy and use the excited-magnetic energy to charge the high voltage capacitor. Since the user can select a smaller Lp to keep constant the maximum value IP,max for the primary side current IP, the period tON can be made smaller as well, which means that a transformer 14 with a smaller volume can be utilized to reduce the entire size of the high voltage charging circuit.

Abstract:
A high voltage charging circuit is provided with the ability of rapid charging. The circuit is composed of a turn-on control circuit, a turn-off control circuit and a transistor. The turn-on control circuit is adopted to set a turn-on time of a transistor such that the transformer may store magnetic energy, while the turn-off control circuit is used to set a turn-off time of the transistor such that the transformer may release the magnetic energy to charge a high voltage capacitor. Smaller inductance reduces the turn-on time of the power transistor owing to the maximum current of the primary side of the transformer. Therefore, a small-sized transformer may be employed to reduce the volume of the charging circuit with nonoccurrence of saturation.
