    摘要: An integrated circuit for a power supply circuit including a transistor configured to control a current flowing through a coil. The integrated circuit is configured to drive the transistor. The integrated circuit includes: a determination circuit configured to determine whether a predetermined time period has elapsed since a power supply voltage of the integrated circuit rises to a first predetermined level; an oscillator circuit configured to output an oscillator signal, which has a first frequency before lapse of the predetermined period, and changes in a range at least from the first frequency to a second frequency higher than the first frequency after the lapse of the predetermined time period; and a driver circuit configured to switch the transistor responsive to the oscillator signal during and after the predetermined time period, the switching causing an on period of the transistor to gradually increase in the predetermined time period.

    摘要: A power supply circuit generating an output voltage at a target level and applying the output voltage to a load. The power supply circuit includes a transformer including a primary coil, a secondary coil and an auxiliary coil, a transistor coupled to the primary coil, and a switching control circuit configured to control switching of the transistor based on a voltage from the auxiliary coil. The switching control circuit includes a determination circuit configured to determine whether to shift to a burst mode operation based on whether the load is a light load, and a burst control circuit. The burst control circuit has a clock circuit configured to measure a stop period during which the switching of the transistor is stopped in the burst mode operation, and a control circuit configured to, upon detecting that the stop period is longer than a first time period, perform control to decrease the stop period.
