    Abstract: A flyback power converter includes a hybrid clamp circuit and a corresponding power management unit that substantially optimizes the performance of the flyback power converter in its entire line and load ranges. The clamp circuit, which is connected in parallel to a primary winding of the flyback transformer, includes a parallel combination of a capacitor and resistor that is connected in series with a parallel combination of a switch and a diode. By sensing the operating conditions, the power management circuit configures the clamp circuit either as a passive clamp or as an active clamp. In the passive-clamp configuration, the switch is kept turned off. In the active-clamp configuration, the switch operates with pulse-width modulation (PWM) which enables ZVS turn-on of the main switch.

    Abstract: A power supply having an input and an output, includes a power converter coupled between the input and output of the power supply including at least one switch that is controlled by comparing a sensed voltage, the sensed voltage corresponding to a current flowing through the switch, to a reference voltage. A controller, in response to a change detected in a switching frequency of the switch, reduces audible noise generated by the power supply by at least one of: adjusting the reference voltage; adjusting the current sense voltage; or adjusting a resistance used to generate the sensed voltage.

    Abstract: A power supply includes multiple power modules and a control circuit. Input terminals of the power modules are connected in star connection such that each power module receives a phase input voltage. Output terminals of the power modules are connected in parallel. Each power modules includes a first and a second converter. The first converter converts the phase input voltage into an intermediate bus voltage. The second converter outputs a DC supply voltage according to the intermediate bus voltage. The control circuit is coupled to the power modules and configured to output first and second driving signals to control the first and second converters in the power modules. A bus voltage average value is calculated by the control circuit according to the intermediate bus voltages of the power modules, and the first and the second driving signals for the power modules are generated according to the bus voltage average value.
