    Abstract: A switching controller circuit for controlling a flyback power converter includes: a power transformer, a primary side controller circuit and a secondary side controller circuit. The power transformer is coupled between the input voltage and the output voltage in an isolated manner. The primary side controller circuit controls a primary side switch of the flyback power converter. The secondary side controller circuit generates a synchronous rectification (SR) signal, to control an SR switch of the flyback power converter. The SR signal includes an SR pulse and a soft switching (SS) pulse. The SR pulse controls the SR switch to be ON for an SR period, to achieve synchronous rectification at the secondary side. The SS pulse controls the SR switch to be ON for an SS period, to achieve soft switching of the primary side switch.

    Abstract: A charger circuit converts a supply voltage of a DC power supply to a charging voltage and a charging current to charge a battery. A battery charging method includes: setting the supply voltage to an initial voltage; checking whether the charging voltage reaches a predetermined voltage level; when the charging voltage is lower than the predetermined voltage level, delivering a control signal to the DC power supply to reduce the supply voltage; when the charging voltage or the charging current is reduced accordingly, delivering the control signal to the DC power to increase the supply voltage; and repetitively reducing and/or increasing the supply voltage until the charging voltage reaches the predetermined voltage level.

    Abstract: A switched capacitor voltage converter circuit for converting a first voltage to a second voltage, includes: a switched capacitor converter and a control circuit. The switched capacitor converter includes at least two capacitors, plural switches and at least one inductor.
