  • Publication number: 20250132664
    Abstract: A power supply system with power factor correction, includes: an AC rectifier, a power factor correction (PFC) conversion circuit, an asymmetric half-bridge (AHB) flyback converter and a communication protocol power delivery (PD) interface. When a power level of an adapter output power is lower than a power threshold, and a converted voltage of a converted power is higher than a first voltage threshold, the communication protocol PD interface generates a disable signal to disable a PFC conversion of the PFC conversion circuit, when the PFC conversion is disabled, the PFC conversion circuit operates a bypass coupling operation, as thus, the converted voltage is equal to a rectified voltage of a rectified power.

  • Patent number: 12273039
    Abstract: A resonant flyback power converter includes: a first transistor and a second transistor which are configured to switch a transformer and a resonant capacitor for generating an output voltage; and a switching control circuit generating first and second driving signals for controlling the first and the second transistors. The turn-on of the first driving signal magnetizes the transformer. During a DCM (discontinuous conduction mode) operation, the second driving signal includes a resonant pulse for demagnetizing the transformer and a ZVS (zero voltage switching) pulse for achieving ZVS of the first transistor. The resonant pulse is skipped when the output voltage is lower than a low-voltage threshold.
