Abstract: An efficiency tracking method of a controller applied to a flyback power converter includes before the controller soft starts, an original frequency variation curve setting voltage generated by the controller outputting an original frequency variation curve setting detection current to an original frequency variation curve setting detection resistor determining a frequency variation curve of the flyback power converter, and utilizing adjustment of resistance of the original frequency variation curve setting detection resistor to achieve efficiency optimization. Therefore, the controller controls an output voltage of the flyback power converter and tracks a maximum power point of the flyback power converter according to the efficiency tracking method to achieve efficiency optimization.

Abstract: A fastener is adapted for assembling a first housing to a second housing. The first housing is provided with a protruding portion and a buckling portion, and the second housing has a first surface, a second surface, and a through hole. The fastener includes a first portion, at least one connecting portion, at least two elastic portions, and a second portion. The first portion movably abuts against the first surface and has a first opening. The connecting portion is accommodated in the through hole. One end of the connecting portion is connected to the first portion. The connecting portion is spaced apart from an inner edge of the second housing by a gap. The two elastic portions inclinedly extend into the first opening. The second portion movably abuts against the second surface and is disposed at the another end of the connecting portion.

Abstract: A system loading detecting device and method are provided. The system loading detecting device includes a processing device, a detection circuit and a controller. The detection circuit detects whether an adapter is unplugged from the system loading detecting device to generate a detection signal. When the adapter is unplugged from the system loading detecting device, the detection signal is changed from a first level to a second level. The controller is coupled to the detection circuit and the processing device. In addition, the controller receives the detection signal and determines whether to trigger the generation of a throttling signal according to the detection signal to enable a throttling mechanism to reduce system loading.
