    摘要: A control circuit for a switched mode power supply and a related method are provided for controlling switching elements in a power train of a switched mode power supply. The control circuit comprises a mode controller to monitor the output current to determine whether the output current exceeds a current threshold. The mode controller controls the switching controller to generate the switch control signals. When the current exceeds the current threshold, the power train operates in a continuous conduction mode, and when the output current has fallen to or below the current threshold, the operation of the power train is changed from the continuous conduction mode to a pulse skipping mode. The pulse skipping mode is entered from the continuous conduction mode and involves determining the amount of energy stored in a secondary circuit of the power train.

    摘要: A switched mode power supply (SMPS) is disclosed in which a simple primary side controller is used to send a single pulse of energy to the secondary side to switch on an output voltage controller. The pulse is sent across the main power train and a filtering arrangement is provided on the secondary side to minimise the energy at the output of the SMPS while maximising the energy supplied to the output voltage controller. Advantageously, the SMPS is configured such that the maximum amount of energy transferred from the primary side to the secondary side during a start-up operation is inherently limited. Protection against short circuit conditions and malfunctions is therefore provided without requiring complicated circuitry.
