    摘要: A resonant flyback power converter includes: a first transistor and a second transistor which are configured to switch a transformer and a resonant capacitor for generating an output voltage; and a switching control circuit generating first and second driving signals for controlling the first and the second transistors. The turn-on of the first driving signal magnetizes the transformer. During a DCM (discontinuous conduction mode) operation, the second driving signal includes a resonant pulse for demagnetizing the transformer and a ZVS (zero voltage switching) pulse for achieving ZVS of the first transistor. The resonant pulse is skipped when the output voltage is lower than a low-voltage threshold.

    摘要: A flyback power converter circuit includes a transformer, a blocking switch, a primary side switch, a primary side controller circuit and a secondary side controller circuit. The transformer is coupled between an input voltage and an internal output voltage in an isolated manner. The blocking switch controls the electric connection between the internal output voltage and an external output voltage. In a standby mode, the internal output voltage is regulated to a standby voltage, and the blocking switch is controlled to be OFF; in an operation mode, the internal output voltage is regulated to an operating voltage, and the blocking switch is controlled to be ON, such that the external output voltage has the operating voltage. The standby voltage is smaller than the operating voltage, so that the power consumption of the flyback power converter circuit is reduced in the standby mode.

The secondary side controller circuit determines a trigger timing point of the ZVS pulse according to a waveform characteristic of a ringing signal, to control the synchronous rectifier switch to be ON for a predetermined period, thereby achieving zero voltage switching of the primary side switch. The primary side or the secondary side controller circuit includes a jitter controller for performing jitter control on the ZVS pulse.
