    摘要: A switching mode power supply (SMPS) includes a rectifying device configured for converting a periodically varying input AC (alternating current) voltage into a DC (direct current) voltage, and a transformer including a primary winding, a secondary winding, and an auxiliary winding. The primary winding is coupled to the rectifying device. An input capacitor is coupled to the rectifying device and the primary winding of the transformer. A first power switch is coupled to the input capacitor. A control circuit is coupled to the first power switch and is configured to control the first power switch based on a phase or amplitude of the input AC voltage. By controlling the charging and discharging of the input capacitor, power is provided to the primary winding during a longer portion of the AC input voltage cycle, allowing the rectifier device to have a larger conduction angle to increase a power factor (PF).

    摘要: A method includes receiving a data unit, determining whether a current state, associated with a deterministic finite automata (DFA) that includes a portion of states in a bitmap and a remaining portion of states in a DFA table, is a bitmap state or not, and determining whether a value corresponding to the data unit is greater than a threshold value, when it is determined that the current state is not a bitmap state. The method further includes determining whether the current state is insensitive, when it is determined that the value corresponding to the data unit is greater than the threshold value, where insensitive means that each next state is a same state for the current state, and selecting a default state, as a next state for the current, when it is determined that the current state is insensitive.

    摘要: A switch-mode power supply (SMPS) includes a transformer having a primary winding coupled to a power switch, a secondary winding for providing an output of the power supply, and a controller. The controller includes a first input terminal for receiving a current sensing signal related to a current in the primary winding, a second input terminal for receiving a feedback signal related to a current in the secondary winding, and an output terminal for providing a control signal to turn on and off the power switch. When the feedback signal is higher than a first reference voltage, the controller is configured to cause the SMPS to maintain a constant output current at a first current magnitude. When the feedback signal is lower than the first reference voltage, the controller is configured to cause the SMPS to provide a second output current at a second current magnitude higher than the first current magnitude.
