  • Publication number: 20240088799
    Abstract: A power converter includes a primary-side rectifying/filtering circuit, an AC-DC converter, a DC/DC converter, a primary-side controller, a secondary-side rectifying controller, and a secondary-side feedback controller. The primary-side rectifying/filtering circuit receives an input voltage, and rectifies and filters the input voltage into an adjusted input voltage. The AC-DC converter receives the adjusted input voltage. The primary-side controller provides a first control signal to control the AC-DC converter to convert the adjusted input voltage into a DC input voltage, and provides a second control signal to control the DC-DC converter. The secondary-side rectifying controller provides a third control signal to control the DC-DC converter to convert the DC input voltage into a conversion voltage to supply power to a load according to a gain condition.

  • Patent number: 11817788
    Abstract: A voltage converter includes a feedback controller, a primary-side controller, a secondary-side controller, a primary-side rectification-filtration circuit, a boost converter, and a voltage conversion circuit. The feedback controller receives a voltage demand signal from an output end to output a first feedback signal and a second feedback signal. The primary-side controller generates a boost control signal and a first switching control signal according to the first feedback signal. The secondary-side controller generates a second switching control signal according to the second feedback signal. The boost converter is configured to boost a DC voltage outputted by the primary-side rectification-filtration circuit into a first voltage according to the boost control signal. The operation mode of the voltage conversion circuit is switched between a half-bridge rectification mode and a full-bridge rectification mode according to the first and second switching control signals.

  • Patent number: 11532982
    Abstract: The disclosure provides a power supply and an operation method thereof. The power supply includes a power factor correction (PFC) circuit, a resonant conversion circuit and a dead zone control circuit. The PFC circuit performs power factor correction to output a corrected voltage. The resonant conversion circuit is coupled to the PFC circuit to receive the corrected voltage. The resonant conversion circuit converts the corrected voltage into a converted voltage. The dead zone control circuit is coupled to the resonant conversion circuit to receive the switch voltage. The dead zone control circuit controls the PFC circuit to adjust the corrected voltage. The dead zone control circuit observes the change trend of the falling time of the switch voltage in the deadtime by adjusting the corrected voltage. The dead zone control circuit determines the corrected voltage according to the change trend of the switch voltage.
