  • Patent number: 11909300
    Abstract: A switch-mode power supply (SMPS), an SMPS system and a power supply method for an SMPS system are disclosed. The SMPS controller includes an output-voltage power supply unit, a built-in energy storage unit and a logic control unit. The output-voltage power supply unit is configured to charge the built-in energy storage unit using an output voltage from the SMPS system so that the built-in energy storage unit can provide an operating voltage for the logic control unit. The use of a stand-off energy storage capacitor can be dispensed with, and the use of the output voltage as a power supply is enabled. As a result, significant reductions in overall and standby power dissipation are achieved. In addition, the SMPS controller may further include a high-voltage power supply unit, which provides a hybrid power supply solution, together with the output-voltage power supply unit.
