    Abstract: An integrated circuit for a power supply circuit, including: a first command value output circuit outputting a first command value to turn on a transistor of the power supply circuit for a first time period; an on signal output circuit outputting an on signal to turn on the transistor; a delay circuit delaying the on signal by a predetermined time period; a correction circuit correcting the first command value, to output a second command value to turn on the transistor for a second time period; and a driver circuit turning on and off the transistor based respectively on the delayed on-signal and the second command value. The correction circuit corrects the first command value based on the predetermined time period and a ratio between the second time period and another time period from when the transistor is turned off to when an inductor current of the power supply circuit reaches a predetermined value.

    Abstract: A rectifier circuit includes an inductor connected to AC inputs of a diode bridge circuit, a capacitor series circuit connected to a DC output, and bi-directional switches that are connected between the series connection point of the capacitors and the AC inputs of the diode bridge circuit. In order to reduce the loss that would occur if both bi-directional switches were driven at high frequency, one of the bi-directional switches is driven at the frequency of the AC input voltage and the other bi-directional switch is driven at a high frequency, and also general rectifying diodes are used as the diodes connected to the bi-directional switch that is driven at the frequency of the AC input voltage and fast recovery diodes are used as the diodes connected to the bi-directional switch that is driven at high frequency.

    Abstract: A switching control circuit for a power supply circuit, including: a first command value output circuit outputting a first command value; a correction circuit correcting the first command value, to output a second command value; a first timer circuit measuring a first time period starting from a first timing at which a transistor of the power supply circuit is turned on; and a driving signal output circuit outputting a driving signal to turn on the transistor in response to an inductor current of the power supply circuit reaching a predetermined value and the first time period having elapsed since the first timing, and outputting the driving signal to turn off the transistor based on the second command value. The correction circuit causes an on time period of the transistor to increase, when the first time period has elapsed since the first timing, after the inductor current reaches the predetermined value.

    Abstract: A switching control circuit for controlling a power supply circuit that includes an inductor receiving a rectified voltage corresponding to an AC voltage, and a transistor controlling an inductor current flowing through the inductor. The switching control circuit controls switching of the transistor, and includes an output circuit, a processing circuit and a drive signal output circuit. The output circuit sequentially receives a first voltage, which fluctuates at a frequency twice a frequency of the AC voltage, and outputs, as a second voltage, the received first voltage after a delay of a predetermined period of time. The processing circuit processes the first voltage based on a value corresponding to the second voltage, to remove a ripple component generated in an output voltage and contained in the first voltage. The drive signal output circuit outputs a drive signal for driving the transistor, in response to a processing result of the processing circuit.
