    摘要: System and method for protecting a power converter. A system includes a threshold generator configured to generate a threshold signal, and a first comparator configured to receive the threshold signal and a first signal and to generate a comparison signal. The first signal is associated with an input current for a power converter. Additionally, the system includes a pulse-width-modulation generator configured to receive the comparison signal and generate a modulation signal in response to the comparison signal, and a switch configured to receive the modulation signal and adjust the input current for the power converter. The threshold signal is associated with a threshold magnitude as a function of time. The threshold magnitude increases with time at a first slope during a first period, and the threshold magnitude increases with time at a second slope during a second period. The first slope and the second slope are different.

    摘要: System and method for protecting a power converter. The system includes a first comparator configured to receive a threshold signal and a first signal and to generate a comparison signal. The first signal is a sum of a second signal and a third signal, and the third signal is associated with an input current for a power converter. Additionally, the system includes a pulse-width-modulation generator configured to receive the comparison signal and generate a modulation signal in response to the comparison signal, and a switch configured to receive the modulation signal and control the input current for the power converter. An amplitude for the first signal becomes larger if an amplitude for the input voltage becomes larger. The second signal is generated by receiving an input voltage for the power converter, converting the received input voltage to a fourth signal, and converting the fourth signal to the second signal.
