  • Publication number: 20100277153
    Abstract: An adaptive power converter controller coupled to a load and a power converter circuit is provided. The adaptive power converter controller has an adaptive voltage sensing unit and a converting control circuit. The adaptive voltage sensing unit is coupled to the load and output a voltage sensing signal according to a load current and a load voltage from the load. The converting control circuit is utilized for receiving the voltage sensing signal and comparing the voltage level of the voltage sensing signal with a current sensing signal, which is corresponding solely to the load current, so as to decide whether the power converter circuit is controlled according to the voltage sensing signal or the current sensing signal.

  • Patent number: 7570098
    Abstract: An active voltage-clamping gate driving circuit comprises a difference comparison circuit for receiving a reference voltage, a gate driving signal, and a preset voltage level, and outputting a voltage comparison signal; and a gate driving circuit for receiving an input signal and the voltage comparison signal, and outputting a gate driving signal. The voltage comparison signal controls the gate driving circuit. When a level difference between the gate control signal and the reference voltage is equal to the preset voltage level, the gate driving circuit is turned off, so that the level of the gate control signal is clamped to the preset voltage level, and the gate driving circuit does not output quiescent direct current under the clamped state.

  • Publication number: 20090027028
    Abstract: A PWM controller applied to switch-type voltage regulator includes an error amplifier, a soft-start control circuit, a compensating load and a comparator. The error amplifier receives a reference voltage signal and a feedback voltage signal and outputs an error current signal according to the received feedback voltage signal and the reference voltage signal. The soft-start control circuit outputs a compensating current signal according to at least one soft-start control signal. The compensating load receives the error current signal and the compensating current signal, and outputs a compensating signal. The comparator receives a ramp signal and the compensating signal, and outputs a pulse width modulated (PWM) signal. When a supply voltage rises, the error amplifier is compensated with a preset soft-start compensating current to a circuit common ground VSS, so that the error signal slowly rises during the soft-start control process. Therefore, the function of soft-starting is effectuated.
