摘要:
A switching power converter comprises a transformer (110), a switch (108) coupled to the transformer (110), and a switch controller (200) coupled to the switch (108) for generating a switch drive signal (207) to turn on or off the switch (108). The drive current of the switch drive signal (207) is adjusted dynamically according to line or load conditions within a switching cycle and/or over a plurality of switching cycles. The magnitude of the drive current can be dynamically adjusted within a switching cycle and/or over a plurality of switching cycles, in addition to the pulse widths or pulse frequencies of the drive current.

An improved valley-mode switching (VMS) scheme and circuitry for implementing the improved VMS switching scheme in a switch-mode power converter are disclosed. For a given switching cycle, a desired switch turn-on time is determined based on a pulse width modulation, pulse frequency modulation, or other suitable power converter control scheme. Also, one or more times corresponding to local minimums (valleys) are predicted for the voltage across a power switch of the switching power converter. The power switch is turned on at a valley immediately subsequent or otherwise subsequent to the desired switch time determined according to the power converter control scheme. Thus, the improved VMS scheme enables low-voltage switch operation to reduce switching loss and EMI noise without restricting the control scheme of the power converter.

摘要:
A power converter that controls a collector current of a bipolar junction transistor (BJT) by controlling the base current to the BJT after having determined the gain of the BJT. A gain detection block determines a gain of the BJT during a first mode. A current calculation block generates a current setting for the base current based on the gain of the BJT determined by the gain detection block during a second mode distinct from the first mode. In some embodiments, the power converter may be included in a LED lamp system.

摘要:
A controller of an AC/DC flyback switching power supply uses adaptive digital control approaches to control the switching operation of a BJT power switch based on primary-side feedback to regulate the secondary-side constant output voltage and output current, without using the input line voltage. Switching-cycle by switching-cycle peak current control and limit are achieved based on the sensed primary-side current rather than the input line voltage in both constant-voltage and constant-current modes, operating in PWM, PFM and/or combinations of a plurality of PWM and PFM modes. The controller IC does not need a separate pin and ADC circuitry for sensing the input line voltage. The controller IC directly drives the BJT base, and dynamically adjusts the BJT base current amplitude cycle by cycle based on load change
