    摘要: Methods, circuits, and systems for determining the presence of a chopped input signal are disclosed. A digital signal generator can produce multiple digital signals when an alternating current (AC) signal input reaches multiple threshold voltages. The times at which the threshold voltages are reached can be determined by looking at the times at which the digital signals go high and low. The differences between the times at which the digital signals go high and low are used to determine if the AC signal input is a leading or trailing edge chopped signal. The AC input signal is a leading edge chopped signal when the difference between the times at which the digital signals go high is less than a predetermined time threshold, and is a trailing edge chopped signal when the difference between the times at which the digital signals go low is less than a predetermined time threshold.

    摘要: A method and apparatus to implement parallel current mode control that is suitable for digital and analog implementation. A duty cycle algorithm is composed of a voltage term and a parallel current term which depends on the inductor current change between the inductor current value at the beginning of a switching cycle and the reference inductor current value at the end of that switching cycle. Parallel current mode control can be applied to all DC-DC converters, including both non-isolated and isolated topologies. It can also be applied to AC-DC converters with power factor correction.
