摘要: A power supply includes a controller. The controller controls switching of a first switch and a second switch in a power supply to regulate conveyance of energy from a primary winding of a transformer to a secondary winding of the transformer to generate an output voltage. To control generation of the output voltage, the controller receives a first signal generated at a first node coupling the first switch and the second switch. As discussed herein, the controller controls activation of the first switch to an ON state depending on a magnitude of the first signal. This disclosure provides improved reliability of power supply components (such as one or more switches) because such components are no longer stressed (or overstressed) due to body diode cross conduction.

摘要: A power supply as described herein includes a voltage converter, main controller, and a bias controller. The voltage converter including a primary stage and a secondary stage. The controller is operable to control regulation of an output voltage from the secondary stage based on a received feedback signal. As its name suggests, the output voltage from the secondary stage powers a load. During certain load conditions, the bias controller maintains (via novel biasing) a magnitude of a power supply voltage above a bias threshold value. More specifically, the bias controller is operable to prevent the power supply voltage from falling below the bias threshold value, preventing an under voltage lockout condition such that the controller is able to quickly continue conveyance of sufficient energy from the first stage to the second stage when the load increases a rate of consuming power provided by the output voltage.

摘要: In accordance with an embodiment, a method of operating a switched-mode power converter includes driving a switching element in successive drive cycles, in which the switching element is driven to switch on for an on-period and subsequently driven to switch off for an off-period; sampling a feedback signal two or more times during the drive cycles, where the feedback signal includes a signal representative of an operation parameter of the switched-mode power converter and noise. The method further includes filtering the sampled feedback signal to extract the signal representative of the operation parameter from the sampled feedback signal and controlling the switching element according to the filtered feedback signal.

摘要: A power factor correction (PFC) circuit includes a first inductor, which is operably supplied with an input voltage and an input current. The input voltage is a rectified AC line voltage. A semiconductor switch has a load current path coupled in series with the first inductor. An output terminal is coupled to the inductor and operably providing an output voltage and an output current. A controller circuit controls the cyclic switching operation of the semiconductor switch. The controller circuit is configured to monitor a feedback signal representing the voltage drop across the load current path of the semiconductor switch, to detect at least one local minimum in the feedback signal while the semiconductor switch is off, and to switch on the semiconductor switch in response to detecting the N-th local minimum in the feedback signal.
