    摘要: A switching mode power supply (SMPS) includes a rectifying device configured for converting a periodically varying input AC (alternating current) voltage into a DC (direct current) voltage, and a transformer including a primary winding, a secondary winding, and an auxiliary winding. The primary winding is coupled to the rectifying device. An input capacitor is coupled to the rectifying device and the primary winding of the transformer. A first power switch is coupled to the input capacitor. A control circuit is coupled to the first power switch and is configured to control the first power switch based on a phase or amplitude of the input AC voltage. By controlling the charging and discharging of the input capacitor, power is provided to the primary winding during a longer portion of the AC input voltage cycle, allowing the rectifier device to have a larger conduction angle to increase a power factor (PF).

    摘要: An apparatus for coupling a switching mode power supply (SMPS) controller to a rectified line voltage. The apparatus includes a high-voltage startup transistor configured to provide a charging current during a startup phase of the SMPS controller and to provide substantially no current during a normal operation phase of the SMPS controller. A switch coupled to the high-voltage startup transistor. The switch receives a control signal from the SMPS controller, for turning off the switch during the startup phase and turning on the switch during the normal operation phase. A biasing device is connected in series with the switch and maintains the startup transistor in an off state when the SMPS controller is in the normal operation phase. A standby current in the apparatus is substantially lower when the SMPS controller is in the normal operation phase than the charging current in the apparatus when the SMPS is in the startup phase.

    摘要: A pulse frequency modulation (PFM) controller for controlling a switching mode power supply. The controller includes an output terminal for providing a control signal to turn on and off a current in the power supply to regulate an output of the power supply. A first input terminal receives a feedback signal related to the output of the power supply, the feedback signal exhibiting a ringing waveform when the current in the power supply is turned off. The controller also includes a control circuit configured to provide the control signal in response to the feedback signal. The control signal is adapted to turn on the current in the power supply when the feedback signal is substantially at a valley of the ringing waveform of the feedback signal. In an embodiment, such a PFM controller can reduce turn-on transition loss in a power supply and provides frequency dithering to reduce electromagnetic interference.
