    摘要: A power supply controller is provided for providing a drive current to a control terminal of a power transistor in three time intervals. The controller includes control circuits configured to control the drive current in multiple stages. During a first time interval, first drive current includes a current spike for turning on the power transistor in response to a start of the control signal pulse. During a second time interval, a second drive current includes a ramping current substantially proportional to a magnitude of a current through the power transistor. During a third time interval, current flow to the power transistor is at least partially turned off before an end of the control signal pulse.

    摘要: A synchronous rectification circuit for a power converter includes a power switch coupled to a transformer and an output capacitor and a switching control circuit configured to provide a control signal to the power switch in response to a first state and a second state of the voltage across the power switch. In the switching control circuit, the second state is determined prior to the first state is determined. In an embodiment, the switching control circuit includes a voltage comparing unit configured to act in response to the first and second inputs. The voltage comparing unit is also configured to output a logic signal according to the voltage difference between the sensed voltage drop across the power switch and a reference threshold voltage. A logic processing circuit is coupled to the voltage comparing unit and configured to provide the first state and the second state of the voltage across the power switch.

    摘要: A switching mode power supply (SMPS) includes a transformer having a primary winding, a secondary winding for providing an output voltage, and an auxiliary winding. The SMPS also includes a power switch coupled to the primary winding. A first control circuit is coupled to the secondary winding, and is configured to provide a first electrical signal to the secondary winding when the output voltage of the SMPS is less than a reference voltage during a discontinuous time, whereupon a second electrical signal is induced in the auxiliary winding. A second control circuit is coupled to the auxiliary winding and the power switch. The second control circuit is configured to regulate the output of the SMPS by controlling the power switch in response to a feedback voltage signal from the auxiliary winding, and is further configured to turn on the power switch in response to the second electrical signal.
