Abstract:
A fast start-up circuit and a method of a flyback power supply utilize a charging current that is related to an input voltage of the flyback power supply to charge a control terminal of a power switch of the flyback power supply during a start-up mode. Accordingly, the power switch can be switched, and a supply voltage of the flyback power supply rises. When an output terminal of the flyback power supply occurs a short circuit, the fast start-up circuit and the method of the present invention will decrease a maximum of a current through the power switch, thereby avoiding that the power switch is overheating.
Abstract:
A feedback circuit for an isolated power converter includes an opto-coupler and a reversed polarity regulator. The opto-coupler provides a current related to an output voltage of the isolated power converter. When the isolated power converter enters light load, the output voltage rises and the reversed polarity regulator reduces the current to decrease the power consumption and thus improve the light load efficiency of the isolated power converter.
Abstract:
A switching power converting apparatus is capable of converting an input voltage to an output voltage, and includes a transformer, a primary side control module, and a secondary side control module. The secondary side control module utilizes voltage clamping techniques or current-drawing techniques to stop self-excited conversion from the input voltage to the output voltage when the output voltage is greater than a predetermined target voltage, or utilizes a non-self-excited conversion architecture.
