    摘要: A switching power conversion apparatus for converting power from an input voltage source to a load includes first and second switches connected to a switching node. An inductive element has a magnetizing current connected to the node, and the inductive element is connected to deliver energy via the first and second switches from the input voltage to the load during a succession of power conversion cycles. A capacitance connected to the node resonates with the inductive element to cause parasitic oscillation. A clamp subcircuit across the inductive element contains an auxiliary switch to trap energy and prevent parasitic oscillation, wherein the auxiliary switch is complementary to the first switch. A controlled voltage source injects energy in the inductive element, when the auxiliary switch turns off to discharge the parasitic capacitance by using trapped energy in the inductive element in addition to injected energy from the controlled voltage source.

    摘要: A flyback converter includes a primary winding, a main switch, a charging switch, a primary side controller and an energy storage device. The primary winding receives an input power; the primary side controller has a power input terminal and provides a first control signal and a second control signal to the main switch and the charging switch; after the main switch is turned off, the charging switch maintains turned on during a charging period. During the charging period, the input power passes through the primary winding and the charging switch, and stores a first portion of the input power in the energy storage device as a power supply energy; the power input terminal is coupled to the energy storage device, and the primary side controller receives the power supply power from the energy storage device through the power input terminal.

    摘要: A switching power supply device includes a secondary-side control circuit including a switching control circuit that generates a voltage for ON-OFF control of a switching element for synchronous rectification. The secondary-side control circuit includes an external terminal to which a drain voltage of the switching element is input, a power supply terminal to which a voltage rectified by the switching element is input, a peak hold circuit that holds a peak of the drain voltage input to the external terminal, and an abnormality detection circuit that operates based on the voltage at the power supply terminal or a voltage derived from the voltage at the power supply terminal and a holding voltage of the peak hold circuit, and outputs an abnormality detection signal when detecting an abnormal state in which the voltage at the power supply terminal decreases or no voltage is input to the power supply terminal.

    摘要: A power conversion device includes a switching signal generation unit that generates switching signals so that time points of at least one of pairs synchronize with each other. A first pair includes a rising time point at a first junction point of a first single-phase leg, and a falling time point at a second junction point of a second single-phase leg. A second pair includes a falling time point at the first junction point and a rising time point at the second junction point. The switching signal generation unit determines time points to turn on or turn off for upper arm switching element and a lower arm switching element based on phase currents respectively at a rising time point and at a falling time point of the terminal voltages.
