    摘要: This disclosure provides control techniques for a resonant converter. In one control technique, for switching speeds that are below the resonant frequency of the primary stage of the converter, the switches of the synchronous rectifier (SR) portion (SR switches) of the resonant converter are controlled based on a rising edge of the corresponding primary side switch and the turn off time of a corresponding SR switch. In general, for below resonance operation, each corresponding SR switch will be turned off prior to the falling edge of each corresponding primary side switch, while each corresponding SR switch will be turned on at the rising edge of the each corresponding primary side switch. The conduction time of respective SR switches is generally constant for below resonance operation. In another control technique, for switching speeds that are above the resonant frequency of the primary stage of the converter, the SR switches are controlled based on the falling and rising edges of the voltage across the each corresponding SR switch. In general, for above resonance operation, each corresponding SR switch will be turned off after the falling edge of each corresponding primary side switch, while each corresponding SR switch will be turned on after the rising edge of the each corresponding primary side switch.

    摘要: A power supply includes a control transistor that controls a primary winding of a transformer to induce current on a secondary winding of the transformer to generate an output voltage. A pulse width modulation (PWM) controller integrated circuit (IC) chip drives the control transistor through a gate pin. The PWM controller IC chip has a feedback pin that receives a feedback signal indicative of the output voltage. A high voltage (HV) startup transistor is controlled through the feedback pin. The HV startup transistor turns ON during startup to generate a supply voltage from current received from the input voltage of the power supply. The HV startup transistor turns OFF when the supply voltage reaches a startup voltage level that is sufficient to start the switching operation of the control transistor and thereby receive operating current from an auxiliary winding of the transformer.

    摘要: A Power Factor Correction (PFC) circuit includes an oscillator circuit. The oscillator circuit receives a valley detect signal indicating a zero current condition, determines a blanking time according to an operational cycle of the PFC circuit, and determines to initiate the operational cycle according to the valley detect signal and the blanking time. Determining the blanking time includes selecting one of a plurality of predetermined blanking times according to a count of operational cycles of the PFC circuit. The PFC circuit may operate in a Boundary Conduction Mode or a Discontinuous Conduction Mode depending on whether a charge-discharge period is greater than the blanking time. The PFC circuit may determine, according to its output voltage, a first duration of a charging period, determine a delay time according to zero current times of previous operational cycles, and extend the first duration of the charging period by the delay time.
