Abstract:
A high voltage half-bridge driver circuit has a high voltage terminal and a floating node to be connected with a high side switch therebetween. When turning on the high side switch, a high voltage offset detection circuit detects a voltage related to the voltage at the floating node for triggering a zero voltage switching signal.
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.
Abstract:
A power off delay circuit includes a switch connected between an external power input terminal and an internal power supply terminal, a capacitor connected to the internal power supply terminal, and a hysteresis comparator to switch the switch according to the voltages of the external power input terminal and the internal power supply terminal. During on-time of the switch, the external power input terminal is connected to the internal power supply terminal and the capacitor can be charged by the external power source. When the switch is off, the capacitor provides electric power for an internal circuit. Application of the power off delay circuit to an audio system may eliminate the turn-off pops of the audio system.
