Patent number: 9954449Abstract: An output current calculating circuit for a flyback converter operating under CCM and DCM is disclosed. The off current value IOFF and the blanking current value ILEB flowing through a sensing resistor are calculated using a detection module and are summed together using a current summing unit. A voltage converted from the sum value of the off current value IOFF and the blanking current value ILEB is transmitted through an output stage in a predetermined time ratio of a cycle with the duty cycle determined by a logic control unit, in which the logic control unit controls the output stage to receive the voltage converted from sum current in a predetermined time period of each cycle, and prevents the output stage to receive the voltage converted from sum current in the remaining time other than such predetermined time period of each cycle.Type: GrantFiled: November 3, 2016Date of Patent: April 24, 2018Assignee: ALPHA AND OMEGA SEMICONDUCTOR (CAYMAN) LTD.Inventors: Yu-Ming Chen, Jung-Pei Cheng, Pei-Lun Huang

Patent number: 9954455Abstract: The present invention discloses a constant on-time isolated converter comprising a transformer with a primary side and a secondary side. The primary side is connected to an electronic switch and secondary-side is connected to a load and a processor. The processor is connected to a driver on primary side through at least one coupling element and to the electronic switch. The processor receives an output voltage or an output current across the load generating a control signal accordingly. The driver receives the control signal through the coupling element and accordingly changes the ON/OFF state of the electronic switch, regulating the output voltage and the output current via the transformer, where the duration of the ON/OFF state of the electronic switch is determined between the moment control signal changes from negative to positive and the moment it changes from positive to negative to achieve a high-speed load transient response.Type: GrantFiled: December 7, 2014Date of Patent: April 24, 2018Assignee: ALPHA AND OMEGA SEMICONDUCTOR (CAYMAN) LTD.Inventors: Tien-Chi Lin, Chih-Yuan Liu, Yueh-Ping Yu, Jung-Pei Cheng, Pei-Lun Huang

Patent number: 9685874Abstract: A circuit and a method for evaluating a load condition in a flyback converter are disclosed. A first current source is used for providing a preset current ISUM equal to a sum of the off current value IOFF and the blanking current value ILEB to charge a first capacitor, and a second current source is used for providing a reference current IREF to charge a second capacitor. A comparator receives a voltage applied on the first capacitor at its positive input end and a voltage applied on the second capacitor at its negative input end. The output current transmitted to the load by the flyback converter is varied to the change of the preset current ISUM, as such the load condition is detected by the comparison result generated by the comparator.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2015Date of Patent: June 20, 2017Assignee: Alpha & Omega Semiconductor (Cayman), Ltd.Inventors: Yu-Ming Chen, Jung-Pei Cheng, Pei-Lun Huang
