    Abstract: A multi-level conversion circuit and a cycle-by-cycle protection method therefor are provided. The cycle-by-cycle protection method includes steps of: (a) determining main switches and synchronous rectification switches; (b) controlling the main switches to operate in a normal mode; (c) detecting a current flowing through the inductor, and determining whether the current exceeds a threshold; (d) when the current exceeds the threshold, defining the main switch in an on state as a target main switch, switching the target main switch to a current limiting mode for turning off the target main switch; and (e) after the target main switch is switched to the current limiting mode, if the current is lower than the threshold, at a moment when a falling edge of control signals in a reference mode for the main switches first appears, switching the target main switch to a state in the reference mode corresponding to the moment.

    Abstract: A totem pole power factor correction circuit includes a detection module and a control unit. The detection module includes a first detection resistor and a first detection circuit. After a voltage difference between the two terminals of the first detection resistor is detected by the first detection circuit, an output voltage is generated. The control unit determines the operating state of the totem pole power factor correction circuit according to the output voltage. If the totem pole power factor correction circuit is in the normal working state, and the totem pole power factor correction circuit is in a steady state or the output power (or the input voltage) is increased or decreased, the control unit controls the on/off states of the corresponding switches in the totem pole power factor correction circuit according to the output voltage.

    Abstract: A totem pole power factor correction circuit is provided. The detection module in the totem pole power factor correction circuit includes a detection resistor and a detection circuit. If the output voltage outputted by the detection circuit is greater than or equal to an upper limit voltage threshold or lower than or equal to a lower limit voltage threshold, at least a third switch and a fourth switch are turned off under control of the control unit. Consequently, the totem pole power factor correction circuit can be protected. Under this circumstance, the protecting measure can be taken immediately. Consequently, the possibility of causing damage of the totem pole power factor correction circuit will be minimized. In other words, the performance of the totem pole power factor correction circuit is enhanced.
