First, a feedback voltage is produced by detecting an output voltage of the power converter. Afterward, a burst-in voltage and a burst-out voltage are set. Afterward, a voltage level of the burst-in voltage or a voltage level of the burst-out voltage is dynamically varied. Afterward, the PWM signal is switched off when the feedback voltage is less than the burst-in voltage. Final, the PWM signal is switched on when the feedback voltage is greater than the burst-out voltage.

Abstract: A digital dynamic delay modulator and the method thereof are applied to a flyback converter. A first input voltage signal from the flyback converter is received and compared with a threshold voltage to determine whether a counting condition is matched. When the counting condition is matched, an integer predetermined count number is counted to determine a delay time. After finishing the counting, a first output signal is generated to turn on a switching device for the flyback converter. The slope of the first input voltage signal is detected when the switching device is turned on, and the slope is used to adjust the count number with integer increment/decrement. Therefore, the delay time for switching the flyback converter can be precisely controlled in digital and dynamic manner.
