  • Publication number: 20260134812
    Abstract: A power supply is disclosed that includes a comparison unit and an internal voltage divider circuit. A voltage conversion circuit generates an output voltage and provides the output voltage to an output terminal. A feedback terminal is electrically connected to the output terminal and to an input node to which a first feedback voltage is applied. The comparison unit compares a voltage applied to the input node with a reference voltage, outputs a feedback control signal of a first level during a discharge period preceding a sensing period, and outputs the feedback control signal of the first level or a second level during the sensing period. The internal voltage divider circuit divides the first feedback voltage into a second feedback voltage in response to the feedback control signal of the first level.
