    Abstract: A control method is disclosed to prevent false triggering of over-current protection. A power converter comprises high-side and low-side switches connected in series between an input power line and a ground line, for driving a resonant circuit to resonate. The power converter includes a detector detecting the resonant circuit to provide a detection signal representing a magnitude of resonance in the resonant circuit. A duty cycle of one of the high-side and low-side switches is detected, and a threshold is determined in response to the duty cycle. An over-current protection is triggered based on the threshold and the detection signal. When the over-current protection is triggered, at least one of the high-side and low-side switches stops providing power to the resonant circuit, and the resonance subsides.

    Abstract: A control method is disclosed to have a voltage sample capable of more correctly representing an output voltage of a power converter. The power converter has a primary side and a secondary side galvanically isolated from each other. A feedback voltage is received in the primary side. A main power switch is turned OFF, starting an OFF time, during which the feedback voltage is constrained in response to the voltage sample. In a sampling time within the OFF time, the feedback voltage is sampled to update the voltage sample representing the output voltage in the secondary side. A driving signal is provided in response to the voltage sample to control the main power switch.

    Abstract: A power controller disclosed is for the use of a power converter with an inductive to regulate an output power source. The power controller has a PWM signal generator and a jitter inducer. The PWM signal generator controls a power switch to generate consecutive switching cycles. In each switching cycle the PWM signal generator controls a peak to regulate the output power source, and the peak is capable of representing a current flowing through the inductive device. The jitter inducer, connected to the PWM signal generator, is for altering the peak, so as to make a difference between two consecutive peaks. The difference has a sign and a magnitude. The jitter inducer makes the sign changed switching cycle by switching cycle.

    Abstract: A control method for a power convert is disclosed. The power convert uses an active-clamp flyback topology and has low-side and high-side switches. The low-side switch is switched to generate consecutive switching cycles including a modified flyback cycle and a normal flyback cycle. Each of the consecutive switching cycles is not less than a blanking time generated in response to a load of the power converter. The high-side switch is constantly turned OFF during the normal flyback cycle. The high-side switch is turned ON after the blanking time during the modified flyback cycle to perform zero-voltage switching for the low-side switch.

    Abstract: Control methods and apparatuses providing a holding current for a TRIAC dimmer are disclosed. A control method is suitable for a power controller powered by an operation power source. A high-voltage device in the power controller is connected between the operation power source and an input power source, from which the high-voltage device drains a conduction current. An operation voltage of the operation power source is detected, and, during a startup procedure, the conduction current is forwarded to charge the operation power source. A detected voltage representing an input voltage of the input power source is provided, and if the detected voltage is below a setting voltage, the conduction current is forwarded to a ground line instead of charging the operation power source.

    Abstract: Herein is disclosed a constant current control unit and a control method, for a switched mode power supply with primary side control. The switched mode power supply comprises a power switch and an inductive device. A reflective voltage of the inductive device is detected to generate a feedback voltage signal. By delaying the feedback voltage signal, a delayed signal is generated. According to the feedback voltage and the delayed signal, a discharge time of the inductive device is determined when the power switch is OFF. According to the discharge time and a current-sense signal, a maximum average output current of the switched mode power supply is stabilized. The current-sense signal represents a current flowing through the inductive device.
