Abstract:
A multiplier-divider capable of offsetting errors includes a plurality of multiplication and division units to perform processes and arrangements so that errors generated by signals passing through the multiplier-divider are offset. As a result impact of the errors is reduced. More than one processing signal can be obtained from the same power supply to reduce loss of external sampling.
Abstract:
A cycle modulation circuit for limiting voltage peak value of a power supply employed an active clamp. The power supply receives an input power which is modulated through a power driving unit to become a driving power transformed through a transformer to be output. The cycle modulation circuit includes a comparison unit and a linear voltage generation unit. The comparison unit receives the input power to generate a level signal which is used as a base value to compare level with an oscillation signal generated by the linear voltage generation unit, thereby to modulate and output a pulse width limit signal with a composite cycle consisting of a high level and a low level. The pulse width limit signal is input to the power driving unit to limit the peak value of the driving power modulated by the power driving unit.

Abstract:
The present invention discloses a self-excitation synchronous rectification driver, which comprises a self-excitation coil, a self-excitation driver, a synchronous-signal source, a pulse transformer, a positive/negative edge detector, and a latch unit. The synchronous-signal source generates a synchronous signal to attain an external synchronous function. When the frequency is abnormal, the first and second rectifier switches of the rectification unit of the power supply are forced to turn on or turn off. Thereby, the first and second rectifier switches can turn on alternately, and the first and second rectifier switches are limited to within the highest and lowest working frequencies during the zero-load stage or the shutdown stage. Thus, the frequency of the synchronous rectification driver is under control, and abnormal voltage will not occur.
