Abstract: 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.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a flyback converter, a primary side control circuit therein, and a control method thereof. The flyback converter includes: a transformer circuit, a power switch circuit, a primary side control circuit, a synchronous rectification (SR) switch, and a synchronous rectification (SR) control circuit. When a feedback signal indicates that a difference between a target output voltage and an actual output voltage increases, the primary side control circuit increases an operation frequency of an operation signal by step-wisely reducing a cycle period of the operation signal in response to the increase of the difference, wherein the cycle period of the operation signal is reduced by a predetermined unit of time in each step, such that the cycle period of the operation signal is a step function of the increase of the difference.

Abstract: A switching control circuit for use in controlling a resonant flyback power converter generates a first driving signal and a second driving signal. The first driving signal is configured to turn on the first transistor to generate a first current to magnetize a transformer and charge a resonant capacitor. The transformer and charge a resonant capacitor are connected in series. The second driving signal is configured to turn on the second transistor to generate a second current to discharge the resonant capacitor. During a power-on period of the resonant flyback power converter, the second driving signal includes a plurality of short-pulses configured to turn on the second transistor for discharging the resonant capacitor. A pulse-width of the short-pulses of the second driving signal is short to an extent that the second current does not exceed a current limit threshold.
