  • Patent number: 11201553
    Abstract: A control method and a control circuit for a switching power supply circuit and the switching power supply circuit. The switching power supply circuit includes a main switching transistor, a synchronous rectifier and an inductive element. When a switching signal indicates that the synchronous rectifier is turned from on to off, and the main switching transistor is turned from off to on, a gate voltage of the synchronous rectifier is pulled down to be lower than a threshold voltage of the synchronous rectifier and higher than a zero voltage by using a resistor-capacitor delay effect and timing is started. When a gate voltage of the main switching transistor is detected to rise to a first voltage or the timing reaches a first time, the gate voltage of the synchronous rectifier is pulled down to the zero voltage.

  • Patent number: 10298129
    Abstract: A switching power supply using a power switch, and a drive circuit therefor are disclosed. This circuit includes a power supplying capacitor with distal end connected with control terminal of the power switch and proximal end to receive a voltage regulation signal generated by a first control signal and a pulse signal. The power switch may be turned on or off, depending on whether the first control signal is placed in a first state during which the voltage regulation signal is in pulse state with the voltage at said distal end made effective, or in a second state during which the voltage regulation signal is in low-level state with the voltage at said distal end made ineffective. A continuous drive and power supplying for the switching power supply is realized, and the capacitance of said capacitor is small, thereby facilitating circuit integration.
