    Abstract: A control circuit for an electronic converter is generates a drive signal of the electronic converter by setting the drive signal to a first logic level in response to a switch-on signal, and to a second logic level in response to a switch-off signal. The control circuit comprises a valley detection circuit and a combinational logic circuit. The control circuit comprises a blanking circuit configured to generate the blanking signal by determining a blanking time, and asserting the blanking signal when the blanking time elapses since the start of the switch-on or the switch-off interval. The control circuit comprises a blanking time adaption circuit to adapt the blanking time as a function of a blanking time adaption signal based on the input voltage, and to increase the blanking time when the input voltage increases, and decrease the blanking time when the input voltage decreases.

    Abstract: A control circuit for a driving an electronic switch associated with a switching node of a flyback converter includes a comparison circuit configured to generate a switch-off signal by comparing a current measurement signal with a current measurement threshold signal. A valley detection circuit is configured to generate a trigger in a trigger signal when a valley signal indicates a valley in a voltage at the switching node of the flyback converter, and a blanking circuit is configured to generate a switch-on signal by combining the trigger signal with a timer signal provide by a timer circuit. The timer signal indicates whether a blanking time-interval has elapsed.
