Publication number: 20100202163Abstract: A dual-switch flyback power converter includes a control circuit to generate a switching signal. A high-side driving circuit includes a pulse generation circuit. The pulse generation circuit generates a pulse-on signal and a pulse-off signal to control two transistors in response to the switching signal. The two transistors further respectively provide a level-shift-on signal and a level-shift-off signal to a comparison circuit to enable/disable a high-side driving signal. Without using a charge pump circuit to power the high-side driving circuit, a floating winding of a transformer is utilized to provide a floating voltage to power the high-side driving circuit, which reduces the cost of the dual-switch flyback power converter and ensures a sufficient high-side driving capability of the high-side driving circuit.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 18, 2009Publication date: August 12, 2010Applicant: SYSTEM GENERAL CORPORATIONInventors: Ta-Yung Yang, Shih-Jen Yang, Ming-Hsuan Lee, Jian Chang
