    摘要: A switching mode power supply (SMPS) includes a transformer having a primary winding, a secondary winding for providing an output voltage, and an auxiliary winding. The SMPS also includes a power switch coupled to the primary winding. A first control circuit is coupled to the secondary winding, and is configured to provide a first electrical signal to the secondary winding when the output voltage of the SMPS is less than a reference voltage during a discontinuous time, whereupon a second electrical signal is induced in the auxiliary winding. A second control circuit is coupled to the auxiliary winding and the power switch. The second control circuit is configured to regulate the output of the SMPS by controlling the power switch in response to a feedback voltage signal from the auxiliary winding, and is further configured to turn on the power switch in response to the second electrical signal.

    摘要: A control circuit is configured for controlling a power switch to regulate an output of a power converter. The control circuit is configured to increase a switching frequency of the power switch when a first signal representing a magnitude of the power converter is below a first output level. In some embodiment, the first output level is selected such that when the first signal is below the first output level, the power converter may generate audible noise. In an embodiment, when the first signal is above the first output level, the control circuit is configured to turn off the power switch when a second signal representing a current in the power switch is above a first reference level. On the other hand, when the first signal is below the first output level, the control circuit is configured to turn off the power switch if the second signal reaches a lower reference level.

    摘要: A controller for providing a constant output current control signal in a switched mode power supply (SMPS) includes a conduction time compensation circuit that is configured to produce a compensated conduction time interval signal that includes compensation for a ringing waveform of a feedback signal. The compensated signal reflects more accurately the actual conductive time of a rectifying diode in a secondary winding of the switched mode power supply. In one embodiment, the compensated conduction time interval signal is used to generate a fixed ratio between the conduction time and the non-conduction time of the rectifying diode. In another embodiment, the controller also provides a constant voltage control signal.

The time interval modulation unit sets a level voltage compared with the feedback signal to generate a sample signal to modulate the OFF time interval. The feedback compensation unit provides a compensation signal to the time interval modulation unit to change the size of the feedback signal or sample signal thereby to compensate the voltage output from the secondary side.
