    摘要: A switching control circuit for use in controlling a resonant flyback power converter generates a first driving signal and a second driving signal. The first driving signal is configured to turn on the first transistor to generate a first current to magnetize a transformer and charge a resonant capacitor. The transformer and charge a resonant capacitor are connected in series. The second driving signal is configured to turn on the second transistor to generate a second current to discharge the resonant capacitor. During a power-on period of the resonant flyback power converter, the second driving signal includes a plurality of short-pulses configured to turn on the second transistor for discharging the resonant capacitor. A pulse-width of the short-pulses of the second driving signal is short to an extent that the second current does not exceed a current limit threshold.

    摘要: A flyback converter includes a power transformer, a primary side switch, a secondary side switch and a controller. A secondary side switching signal has an SR pulse for achieving synchronous rectification, and a ZVS pulse for achieving zero voltage switching. The ZVS pulse is enabled according to a first characteristic of a resonance waveform, whereas, a primary side switching signal is enabled according to a second characteristic of resonance waveform. When an output current increases, the primary side switching signal is disabled during an inhibition interval, such that primary side switching signal does not overlap with the ZVS pulse, thereby preventing the primary and secondary side switches from being both conductive simultaneously. The inhibition interval is correlated with a rising edge of the primary side switching signal in a previous switching period and a resonance period of the resonance waveform.
