Publication number: 20250192666Abstract: A control circuit is coupled to a power converter having an input voltage VIN and an output voltage VOUT. The control circuit includes a capacitor connected between a current source and a ground. The current source is configured to charge the capacitor with a current ?VIN or ?(VIN?VOUT) when a pulse width modulate (PWM) signal of a PWM controller of the power converter is high, and to discharge the capacitor with a current ?(?VOUT) or ?(VIN?VOUT) when the PWM signal is low. ? is a pre-configured constant. The control circuit is configured to trigger the PWM controller to skip pulses when a voltage across the capacitor decreases to be less than a threshold before a present switching cycle of the power converter ends.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 7, 2023Publication date: June 12, 2025Inventors: Hao-Ming Chen, Adrian Wang, Ko-Yen Lee, Feng-Jung Huang, Kuo-Yung Yu, Wei Chih Chen

Publication number: 20160268939Abstract: A motor driving device with stop mode setting and driving method thereof comprises a PWM converting circuit, an oscillator circuit, a first comparator, a second comparator, and a control unit. The second comparator compares a tunable stop setting signal with an analog signal to output a stop setting signal to the control unit. Therefore, the control unit determines a duty cycle for stopping a motor, and thus reducing energy loss of the motor and promoting motor efficiency.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 23, 2015Publication date: September 15, 2016Inventors: TENG-HUI LEE, KUO-YUNG YU
