    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.

    摘要: A battery module for use in a battery system is coupled with other battery modules in the battery system in daisy-chain configuration. And, the battery module communicates with other battery modules through the daisy chain according to a communication interface protocol which has a predetermined number of clock pulses. The battery module includes a battery unit and a battery control circuit. When the battery module operates in a bottom mode, the battery control circuit generates an upstream clock output signal which includes the predetermined number of clock pulses plus a number of inserted clock pulses, to compensate a clock difference caused by the propagation delay of the daisy chain, such that the battery module is able to synchronously receive a downstream data signal transmitted from the target module via the daisy chain as the battery module is transmitting an upstream clock output signal.

    摘要: A ZVS (zero voltage switching) control circuit for controlling a flyback power converter includes: a primary side controller circuit for generating a switching signal, to control a primary side switch; and a secondary side controller circuit for generating a synchronous rectifier (SR) control signal for controlling a synchronous rectifier switch. The SR control signal includes an SR-control pulse and a ZVS pulse. The SR-control pulse controls the synchronous rectifier switch to perform secondary side synchronous rectification. 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.

    摘要: A control circuit for controlling a power supply circuit to provide power to a system device which includes a communication circuit includes: a pulse width modulation (PWM) controller configured to switch a transformer of the power supply circuit to generate a first output voltage; and a switched capacitor converter configured to generate a second output voltage according to the first output voltage. The second output voltage provides power to the communication circuit, wherein the communication circuit generates a power saving signal to control the PWM controller and the switched capacitor converter. When the power saving signal is enabled, the first output voltage is decreased and a duty ratio of the switched capacitor converter is increased.
