  • Publication number: 20180062632
    Abstract: The present invention provides a control method and a control circuit for a switch circuit and a corresponding switch circuit device. The control circuit comprises: an acquiring module, configured to acquire first time; a comparing module, connected with the acquiring module and configured to compare first time with first fixed time; and an adjusting module, connected with the comparing module. The adjusting module adjusts a cycle of a turn-on signal of a first switch transistor to second fixed time when the first time is less than the first fixed time. The adjusting module adjusts the sum of second time and the first fixed time to the second fixed time to achieve spread spectrum when the first time is more than the first fixed time. The control circuit for the switch circuit provided by the present invention is used for controlling the switch circuit for spread spectrum.

  • Publication number: 20180062641
    Abstract: Disclosed a drive method, a drive circuit for a power switch and a power supply system. During the turning-on period of the power switch, which can be roughly divided into three processes, a current limiting module is used to limit the current flowing through the power switch for preventing current overshoot, a logic control module is used for controlling the current limiting module not to operate before the turning-on period and the control terminal of the power switch is turned off; during the turning-on period, a feedback circuit adjusts the gate voltage of the power switch for controlling the current flowing through the power switch to reach a predetermined limited value quickly and then maintain at the limited value until the power switch is fully turned on. The current limiting module can be employed in various embodiments.

  • Publication number: 20180062511
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a control method, a control circuit and a device for a switching circuit, for solving the problem that a function of fixing a frequency cannot be realized when the switching circuit is operated under CCM and working in a constant on-time control mode or a constant on-time control mode. The present disclosure is suitable to various switching circuits, and an application scope of the control method of the switching circuit can be extended. The control method comprises: starting time measuring at a rising edge of a turn-on signal of the first switch; reducing a turn-on time or a turn-off time of the first switch when a first measured time is reached, and the rising edge in a next cycle of the turn-on signal has not arrived; increasing the turn-on time or the turn-off time of the first switch when the rising edge in the next cycle of the turn-on signal arrives but the first measured time is not reached.

  • Publication number: 20180041111
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a circuit and a method for overcurrent control and a power supply system including the same. When the system operates normally, a reference voltage has a constant value. When a short circuit or an overcurrent occurs at an output of the system, the reference voltage will be pulled down,. When the system is recovered from the short circuit or the overcurrent state, the reference voltage increases slowly up to a steady value. A feedback signal of an output voltage follows the reference voltage and increases slowly. Thus, an overshoot of the output voltage can be effectively eliminated to avoid damages to the system.

  • Publication number: 20170338814
    Abstract: This invention provides a switch control circuit and a switch circuit. When a main transistor on-time reaches a constant on-time, whether an inductor current reaches an instruction current is detected; if the inductor current fails to reach the instruction current, the main transistor on-time is prolonged; the main transistor is turned off and the auxiliary transistor is turned on until the inductor current reaches the instruction current or exceeds the instruction current by a certain threshold; when the main transistor is turned off and the auxiliary transistor is turned on, the inductor current is detected in real time to check whether the inductor current is smaller than the instruction current, and the auxiliary transistor is turned off and the main transistor is turned on again if yes.

  • Publication number: 20170222550
    Abstract: A power supply protection circuit and a method is described herein. The power supply protection circuit comprises a current control unit, a voltage feedback unit, and a current pull-up unit. The voltage feedback unit is connected to the current control unit, the voltage feedback unit obtains a feedback voltage of an output voltage and feeds back the feedback voltage to the current control unit, and the current control unit uses the feedback voltage to control the current control unit to regulate an output current. The current pull-up unit is connected to a feedback terminal of the voltage feedback unit, and the current pull-up unit provides the voltage feedback unit with a pull-up current to determine whether the feedback terminal of the voltage feedback unit is short-circuited.

  • Patent number: 9608532
    Abstract: To maximize power efficiency, dead time between “on” times of a synchronous rectifier (“SR”) MOSFET switch and a main switch for CCM operation in particular in isolated and non-isolated self-driven synchronous DC-DC converters needs to be optimized. To accomplish that objective, the latest conduction time t of a body diode of the SR MOSFET following conduction thereof is determined, compared with a selected fixed optimum period T1, and incrementally or decrementally adjusted in a subsequent switching cycle while t is unequal to T1, depending on whether t is shorter or longer than T1, so that t eventually is made substantially equal to T1 in length. This process is to be repeated continuously.
