  • Patent number: 9130454
    Abstract: A control circuit of a power converter includes: a periodical signal generating circuit for generating a first filtered signal, a second filtered signal, and a periodical signal according to a second feedback signal corresponding to an inductor voltage of the power converter; a comparison circuit for comparing the error signal and the periodical signal to generate a comparison signal; a control signal generating circuit for generating a control signal to control power switches of the power converter according to the comparison signal; and a signal adjusting circuit. During a load transient period at which the load of the power converter changes from a relatively light load to a relatively heavy load, when a lower switch of the power converter is turned on, the signal adjusting circuit reduces an output current of the periodical signal generating circuit to increase a loop response of the power converter.

  • Patent number: 8811041
    Abstract: A power supply includes a first circuit, a second circuit, a feedback circuit and a controller. The first circuit has a first switch, and the second circuit has a second switch. The first circuit transforms an input voltage to a middle voltage, and the second circuit transforms the middle voltage to an output voltage. The feedback circuit electrically connects to the controller and the output voltage respectively. The controller includes a first sub-control unit and a second sub-control unit. The first sub-control unit electrically connects to the first switch and the second sub-control unit electrically connects to the second switch. The controller generates a compensation voltage signal for the first sub-control unit and the second sub-control unit to control the first switch and the second switch.

  • Patent number: 8807186
    Abstract: A hot laminating apparatus includes a first pressing roller, a second pressing roller, a first heating element, and a first bimetallic structure. The first bimetallic structure is arranged between the first heating element and the first pressing roller. The first heating element is used for providing heat energy to the first pressing roller. As the ambient temperature changes, the first bimetallic structure is subjected to deformation to allow the first heating element to be away from the first pressing roller or allow the first heating element to be close to the first pressing roller.

  • Patent number: 8582322
    Abstract: A power supply unit includes a switching power converter responsive to a control signal to switch a power switch thereof to provide an output voltage and an output current for a load. To reduce light-load or no-load power consumption of the power supply unit, the power supply unit repeats a process of stopping switching the power switch and recovering switching the power switch for a period of time once the output voltage decreases to be lower than a reference voltage.
