Abstract: A flyback converter, including: a transformer, a first switch, a second switch, and a control circuit. The transformer includes a first side and a second side. The first switch is coupled to the first side at an input terminal. The second switch is coupled to the second side and an output terminal. The control circuit is coupled between the output terminal and the second switch, wherein the control circuit is arranged to adjust a voltage on the input terminal by changing a flow of a current between the second switch and the second side.

Abstract: When a constant on-time flyback converter is in the switch-on stage, the gate voltage of the switch and the input voltage of the flyback converter adopt the primary side of the transformer to control. The gate voltage is controlled by the second control signal generated by the controller. The flyback converter is then turn off to enter the switch off stage. When the flyback converter is in the switch off stage, the secondary side controller on the secondary side of the transformer, based on the output voltage and output current of the secondary side, sends a first control signal to the primary side controller to control the main switch to turn on. Thus, the flyback converter enters the switch-on stage. Therefore, the calculation complexity is reduced, and there is no need to set a blanking time, such that the flyback converter can be used in high switching frequency applications.
