  • Publication number: 20240154537
    Abstract: A control circuit for an isolated power supply is disclosed, the control circuit includes a secondary-side drive signal generator, a secondary-side transistor switch turn-off detector and a primary-side control signal generator. The primary-side control signal generator is configured to: determine a second turn-on instant referring to an turn-off instant of the secondary-side synchronous rectification transistor from the turn-off acknowledgement signal; determine a first turn-on instant referring to a supposed turn-on instant for the primary-side transistor switch from the feedback signal of the output voltage of the isolated power supply; and determine the turn-on instant for the primary-side transistor switch from the second turn-on instant or the first turn-on instant whichever is later, and responsively generate the primary-side transistor switch control signal.

  • Patent number: 11929684
    Abstract: Isolated power supply control circuits, isolated power supply and control method thereof are disclosed, the control circuit for controlling an isolated power supply includes a secondary-side control signal generator and a primary-side control signal generator. The secondary-side control signal generator produces a secondary-side transistor switch control signal containing information about a turn-off instant of a secondary-side synchronous rectification transistor, which serves as a second turn-on instant. The primary-side control signal generator derives, from a feedback signal, a supposed turn-on instant for a primary-side transistor switch, which serves as a first turn-on instant. The primary side turn-on signal generator further derives a turn-on instant for the primary-side transistor switch from the second or first turn-on instant whichever is later and responsively generates a primary-side transistor switch control signal.

  • Publication number: 20230387798
    Abstract: A control circuit for a switched-mode power converter to generate a control signal for controlling switching transistors in the power converter is disclosed. The control circuit includes: a comparator; a ramp compensation circuit for producing and applying a ramp compensation signal to a first or second input of the comparator; an on-time generation circuit to generate an on-time timer signal; and a control signal generation circuit to generate, based on the comparison signal and the on-time timer signal, the control signal for controlling the switching transistors in the power converter. The ramp compensation signal output from the ramp compensation circuit is configured with: a first slope during an inductor demagnetization interval in operation of the power converter in CCM and a second slope during an inductor demagnetization interval and a zero-current interval in operation of the power converter in DCM, the first slope is greater than the second slope.
