Patent number: 9444334Abstract: The present invention includes: a zero crossing detection circuit which outputs a zero crossing signal when an inductor's regeneration period is completed; a light load detection circuit which compares an amplified error signal from an error amplifier and a threshold and outputs a light load signal; a timer circuit which outputs an intermittent operation enabling signal after a predetermined period based on the light load signal and zero crossing signal and outputs an intermittent operation disabling signal when the zero crossing signal is not outputted for a predetermined period; and an ON-OFF control controller which turns off a switching element when the amplified error signal falls below the threshold while the timer circuit is outputting the intermittent operation enabling signal, and turns on the switching element when the amplified error signal at least reaches or exceeds the threshold while the timer circuit is outputting the intermittent operation enabling signal.Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 2014Date of Patent: September 13, 2016Assignee: Sanken Electric Co., Ltd.Inventors: Masaru Nakamura, Hiroaki Nakamura, Takayuki Konishi, Chie Isshi, Satoshi Nakamoto
