Abstract: A resonant switching power converter includes: capacitors; switches; at least one charging inductor; at least one discharging inductor; a controller generating a charging operation signal corresponding to charging process and discharging operation signals corresponding to discharging processes, to operate the switches to switch electrical connection relationships of the capacitors. In the charging process, the controller controls the switches via the charging operation signal, so that a series connection of the capacitors and the charging inductor is formed between the input voltage and the output voltage, which forms a charging path. In the discharging processes, the controller controls the switches via the discharging operation signals, so that a series connection of one of the capacitors and the discharging inductor is formed between the output voltage and a ground voltage level, to form plural discharging paths at different periods in a sequential order.

Abstract: A resonant switching power converter includes: capacitors, switches, at least one charging inductor, at least one discharging inductor and a pre-charging circuit. The pre-charging circuit controls a first switch of the switches when the resonant switching power converter operates in a pre-charging mode, to control an electrical connection relationship between the input voltage and a first capacitor of the capacitors and to control other capacitors of the capacitors, thus controlling the capacitors to be connected in parallel to one another or to be connected in series to one another, so that when a voltage drop across the first capacitor is lower than a predetermined voltage, the voltage drop across each capacitor is charged to the predetermined voltage. After operating in the pre-charging mode, the resonant switching power converter subsequently operates in a resonant voltage conversion mode, to thereby convert an input voltage to an output voltage.

Abstract: A flyback power converter includes: a transformer, a primary side switch, a snubber capacitor and an active clamp snubber. The snubber capacitor is charged by a leakage inductance current of a primary winding fora snubber period following after a time point when the primary side switch is turned OFF. The active clamp snubber includes a snubber control switch which is connected in series to the snubber capacitor. The series circuit of the snubber control switch and the snubber capacitor is connected in parallel to the primary winding. The leakage inductance current charges the snubber capacitor through the snubber control switch during the snubber period. The snubber capacitor provides a capacitor voltage as electrical power of the active clamp snubber. A voltage level of a reference node between the snubber control switch and the snubber capacitor serves as a snubber ground level of the active clamp snubber.
