    摘要: A transformer has a primary winding connected between a pair of d.c. input terminals via an on-off switch, and a secondary winding connected between a pair of d.c. output terminals via a rectifying and smoothing circuit. The output voltage applied from the rectifying and smoothing circuit to the load is held constant by switching the input voltage through feedback control. The switch is driven in either of two different prescribed modes depending upon whether the converter is under normal or light load. In order to ascertain the load magnitude a flyback period determination circuit is connected to a tertiary winding of the transformer for providing a signal indicative of a flyback period during which a flyback voltage exists across the transformer tertiary after the switch is turned off each time. Each flyback period is compared with two different reference periods of time for hysteretic determination of whether the converter is under normal or light load. Several other embodiments are disclosed.

    摘要: A control circuit 8 of a switching power source comprises a voltage detector 31 for detecting a voltage VDC of a DC power supply 1 to produce a detection voltage VDT; a comparator 41 for producing an output signal VCP when detection voltage VDT from voltage detector 31 exceeds a reference voltage VR2; a bottom voltage detector 51 for detecting a bottom point of voltage VDS across a MOS-FET 3 after energy has been discharged from transformer 2; and a switching controller 61 for selectively turning MOS-FET 3 on depending on existence or absence of the output signal VCP from comparator 41. When the input voltage VDC from DC power supply 1 so rises that detection voltage VDT of voltage detector 31 is above the reference voltage VR2, switching controller 61 serves to late turn MOS-FET 3 on at the time bottom voltage detector 51 detects the second or later bottom point of the voltage VDS across MOS-FET 3, extending the off period of MOS-FET 3 to reduce switching frequency of MOS-FET 3.

    摘要: A transformer has a primary winding connected between a pair of d.c. input terminals via an on-off switch, and a secondary winding connected between a pair of d.c. output terminals via a rectifying and smoothing circuit. The output voltage applied from the rectifying and smoothing circuit to the load is held constant by switching the input voltage through feedback control. For intermittently operating the switch under light load, a sawtooth generator circuit is provided which provides a sawtooth voltage having a frequency less than that of the on-off operation of the switch. The sawtooth voltage is compared with a voltage indicative of the magnitude of a current flowing through the switch. The result of this comparison is utilized for modifying the delivery of switching pulses to the switch.
