Capacitor charge theory is employed to implement the circuit of the switched charge multiplier-divider. The switched charge multiplier-divider includes an output capacitor and controls the voltage across the output capacitor, so that it is proportional to the product of the charge current and the charge-time interval. The switched charge multiplier-divider is ideal for use in the power factor correction (PFC) of switching mode power supplies.

    Abstract: A controller for a power converter includes a clamping circuit, a switching circuit and a pulse generator. The clamping circuit is coupled to an input terminal of the controller for detecting a detection signal from a transformer. The switching circuit generates a switching signal to switch the transformer in response to the detection signal for regulating the power converter. A maximum level of the detection signal is clamped to be under a level of a threshold voltage during an off-period of the switching signal. Since the maximum level of the detection signal is clamped and the oscillating energy of the reflected signal is discharged, the speed of detecting the detection signal is increased. Therefore, the regulation of the primary-side controlled power converter can be improved accordingly.
