Abstract: Controlling power factor correction (PFC) in a flyback converter is described. In one embodiment, an apparatus includes a flyback converter configured to operate with a variable switching frequency. The flyback converter includes a signal transformer, a primary side including a primary-side controller coupled to the signal transformer, and a secondary side including a secondary-side controller coupled to the signal transformer. The secondary-side controller is configured at least to cause a control signal to be generated based on a set of parameters. The control signal controls power factor correction (PFC) for the flyback converter.

Abstract: A system includes a transformer having a primary winding and an auxiliary winding at a primary side of an AC-DC converter, the auxiliary winding reflecting an output voltage of a secondary winding of the transformer. A primary side controller includes an over-voltage protection (OVP) pin and an OVP circuit. A voltage divider includes a first resistor coupled between the auxiliary winding and the OVP pin and a second resistor coupled between the first resistor and a ground. The voltage divider provides, to OVP pin, a reduced voltage that is proportional to the output voltage. In absence of a pulse signal from a secondary side controller, the OVP circuit turns off a gate driver that drives a primary switch in response to the OVP voltage exceeding a reference OVP voltage. The primary switch is coupled between the primary winding of the transformer and the ground.

Abstract: Controlling an active clamp field effect transistor (FET) in a secondary-controlled active clamp converter is described. In one embodiment, an apparatus includes a primary-side FET coupled to a transformer, a secondary-side FET coupled to the transformer, and an active clamp FET disposed on a primary side of the transformer. A secondary-side controller is configured to control the active clamp FET across a galvanic isolation barrier.

Abstract: A system includes a transformer, a first controller, a discharge circuit to discharge an external capacitor based on an undervoltage threshold, and a second controller. The second controller is coupled to the discharge circuit, and is also coupled to receive a rectified Ac voltage and to receive control signals from the first controller. The second controller includes a gate driver to turn on a primary field effect transistor (FET). The second controller also includes a startup controller coupled to the gate driver. The startup controller is configured to increase a duty cycle of the primary FET based on whether a control signal is received from the first controller. The startup controller is also configured to determine a current duty cycle of the primary FET and to turn off the primary FET based on whether the voltage of the AC-DC converter is above an undervoltage threshold.

Abstract: A secondary controlled AC-DC converter including an oscillator in a primary-side controller (PSC), and method for operating the same to enable soft-start and low frequency operation are provided. Generally, the method includes driving a power switch coupled between an AC input and a primary-side of the converter with a gate-drive (GD-signal). At startup and following auto-restart the GD-signal is generated using an oscillator-signal from the oscillator. After receiving start-stop pulses from a secondary-side controller, the oscillator-signal is decoupled from the GD-signal using a controller in the PSC, and the PSC begins generating the GD-signal using pulse-width-modulated (PWM) generated using the start-stop pulses. The oscillator operates at a first frequency independent of the PWM signal. The PWM signal includes one of a number of frequencies selected based on a power drawn from the converter, and, in low power applications can be less than the first frequency.
