  • Patent number: 11664734
    Abstract: A flyback converter to control conduction time in AC/DC conversion technology. The flyback converter includes a primary side and a secondary side. The primary side includes a main switch connecting a primary coil to the input of the flyback converter in series. The secondary side includes a secondary coil coupling with the output terminal of the flyback converter. When a switching frequency of the main switch is at a preset first on time in the range between the off frequency and the second switching frequency, the on-time of the main switch continuously changes corresponding to output load changes. When the switching frequency of the main switch is higher than the first switching frequency, the on time of the main switch is constant. The on time is controlled to change linearly, so as to avoid excessive changes in the output voltage ripples, thereby improving circuit efficiency.

  • Patent number: 11502592
    Abstract: An isolated converter has a constant voltage mode and a constant current mode. The isolated converter includes a transformer, a main switch, a driver, a controller, and an isolator. The controller includes a constant current control unit, a voltage comparator, and a control logic unit. The constant current control unit generates a voltage adjustment signal to adjust the reference voltage or voltage feedback signal according to a current feedback signal for sensing the output current. The control logic unit generates a trigger signal according to the comparison signal of the voltage comparator. The isolator connects the output terminal of the controller and the driver. The input terminal is used to transmit the trigger signal to the input terminal of the driver. The isolated converter can provide excellent constant voltage transient response and stable constant current regulation according to load conditions by improving the controller.

  • Patent number: 11387738
    Abstract: When a constant on-time flyback converter is in the switch-on stage, the gate voltage of the switch and the input voltage of the flyback converter adopt the primary side of the transformer to control. The gate voltage is controlled by the second control signal generated by the controller. The flyback converter is then turn off to enter the switch off stage. When the flyback converter is in the switch off stage, the secondary side controller on the secondary side of the transformer, based on the output voltage and output current of the secondary side, sends a first control signal to the primary side controller to control the main switch to turn on. Thus, the flyback converter enters the switch-on stage. Therefore, the calculation complexity is reduced, and there is no need to set a blanking time, such that the flyback converter can be used in high switching frequency applications.
