  • Publication number: 20240128876
    Abstract: A switching control circuit for use in controlling a resonant flyback power converter generates a first driving signal and a second driving signal. The first driving signal is configured to turn on the first transistor to generate a first current to magnetize a transformer and charge a resonant capacitor. The transformer and charge a resonant capacitor are connected in series. The second driving signal is configured to turn on the second transistor to generate a second current to discharge the resonant capacitor. During a power-on period of the resonant flyback power converter, the second driving signal includes a plurality of short-pulses configured to turn on the second transistor for discharging the resonant capacitor. A pulse-width of the short-pulses of the second driving signal is short to an extent that the second current does not exceed a current limit threshold.

  • Publication number: 20240120844
    Abstract: A resonant flyback power converter includes: a first and a second transistors which form a half-bridge circuit for switching a transformer and a resonant capacitor to generate an output voltage; a current-sense device for sensing a switching current of the half-bridge circuit to generate a current-sense signal; and a switching control circuit generating a first and a second driving signals for controlling the first and the second transistors. The turn-on of the first driving signal controls the half-bridge circuit to generate a positive current to magnetize the transformer and charge the resonant capacitor. The turn-on of the second driving signal controls the half-bridge circuit to generate a negative current to discharge the resonant capacitor. The switching control circuit turns off the first transistor when the positive current exceeds a positive-over-current threshold, and/or, turns off the second transistor when the negative current exceeds a negative-over-current threshold.

  • Patent number: 4864726
    Abstract: An auxiliary cutter for precisely cutting through the outer covering of a cable without damaging the inner core is removably attachable to a grinder. An optical cable or electrical cable is fixedly held in a bearing by a fixing ring. A portable grinder is detachably attached to the cutting attachment or the auxiliary cutter to provide a cutting blade. Additional connecting parts enable the auxiliary cutter to rotate 360.degree. relative to the central axis of the cable for cutting entirely the outer surface of the cable being cut. The cutting depth can be adjusted and set by an adjustable screw which fixes the distance between the edge of the cutting blade or wheel of the grinder and the central axis of the cable being cut. A compression spring presses the outer covering of the cable against the grinder cutting blade for cutting the outer covering of the optical cable or electrical cable up to the present cutting depth.
