摘要:
A switched mode power supply (SMPS) comprising a feedback unit, voltage feed forward (VFF) compensation signal generator and a transient detector. A VFF compensation signal is only applied to the output of the feedback unit when a transient is detected by the transient detector on the input voltage of the SMPS, thereby saving power and computation time. The transient detector comprises a first comparator to detect that a positive transient has occurred if a difference signal is greater than a positive threshold level; a second comparator to determine if the difference signal is within a predetermined range of positive values and output a result that indicates if the difference signal is within the predetermined range of positive values; and a first calculator to detect that a positive transient has occurred if, out of a first predetermined number of consecutive results of the output of the second comparator, there is at least a second predetermined number of results indicating that the difference signal is within the predetermined range of positive values. The transient detector comprises further features for similarly detecting a negative transient.

A switching delay controller (150) for controlling a switching delay between the switching of a first and a second switching element (Q1 to Q4) in a switched mode power supply (300), the switched mode power supply comprising a feedback signal generator (140) operable to generate a feedback signal indicative of a difference between an output (Vout) of the switched mode power supply and a reference (Vref) for the output, and a drive circuit (120) for switching the first and second switching elements so as to convert an input voltage (Vin) to the switched mode power supply (300) into an output voltage (Vout) thereof based on the feedback signal. The switching delay controller (150) comprises a switching delay calculator (152) operable to cause a change of the switching delay for at least one switching cycle of the switched mode power supply, and a feedback signal monitor (151) operable to monitor the feedback signal and determine a change in the feedback signal in response to the change to the switching delay by the switching delay calculator (152). The switching delay calculator (152) is further operable to calculate a switching delay to increase an efficiency of the switched mode power supply (300) based on the determined change in the feedback signal, and cause a change of the switching delay in the switched mode power supply to the calculated switching delay.

A switching delay controller is configured to control a switching delay between the switching of first and second switching elements in a switched mode power supply. The switched mode power supply generates a feedback signal indicative of a difference between an output of the switched mode power supply and a reference for the output, and switches the first and second switching elements to convert an input voltage into an output voltage based on the feedback signal. The switching delay controller includes a switching delay calculator operable to cause a change of the switching delay for at least one switching cycle of the switched mode power supply, and a feedback signal monitor operable to monitor the feedback signal and determine a change in the feedback signal in response to the change of the switching delay by the switching delay calculator.
