    摘要: A switch-mode power supply (SMPS), an SMPS system and a power supply method for an SMPS system are disclosed. The SMPS controller includes an output-voltage power supply unit, a built-in energy storage unit and a logic control unit. The output-voltage power supply unit is configured to charge the built-in energy storage unit using an output voltage from the SMPS system so that the built-in energy storage unit can provide an operating voltage for the logic control unit. The use of a stand-off energy storage capacitor can be dispensed with, and the use of the output voltage as a power supply is enabled. As a result, significant reductions in overall and standby power dissipation are achieved. In addition, the SMPS controller may further include a high-voltage power supply unit, which provides a hybrid power supply solution, together with the output-voltage power supply unit.

    摘要: A control circuit for a constant-current drive circuit, as well as a constant-current drive circuit are disclosed. The control circuit can obtain output information of the constant-current drive circuit and use it in combination with reference information to determine, according to an output condition corresponding to the current load of the constant-current drive circuit, a time point for the system to enter or exit a rapid drive mode. Therefore, it can be suitably used in various application scenarios to determine a time point for the system to entry into or exit from the rapid start mode. Compared with fast charging for a fixed period of time as used in the prior art, embodiments of the present invention can effectively overcome the problem of easy overshooting or inadequate acceleration during start as found in various applications.

    摘要: A high power factor control circuit is disclosed, which is used in an AC/DC converter. The converter includes a rectification module, a conversion module and a load. The rectification module receives AC power and rectifies it into a DC current, and the conversion module converts the DC current to drive power as desired by the load and provides it to the load. The conversion module includes a conversion element including an inductive element and a switching element. The control circuit includes a peak limiting signal generator and a switching element control module. The peak limiting signal generator receives a reference signal and produces at least one peak limiting signal from a sample signal. The switching element control module is configured to control switching of the switching element so that, within at least half a line-frequency period, a value of the ripple in the output current flowing through the load is not greater than a limit value.
