  • Publication number: 20240146205
    Abstract: A flyback power converter includes a power transformer, a first lossless voltage conversion circuit, a first low-dropout linear regulator and a secondary side power supply circuit. The first low-dropout linear regulator (LDO) generates a first operation voltage as power supply for being supplied to a sub-operation circuit. The secondary side power supply circuit includes a second lossless voltage conversion circuit and a second LDO. The second LDO generates a second operation voltage. The first operation voltage and the second operation voltage are shunted to a common node. When a first lossless conversion voltage is greater than a first threshold voltage, the second LDO is enabled to generate the second operation voltage to replace the first operation voltage as power supply supplied to the sub-operation circuit; wherein the second lossless conversion voltage is lower than the first lossless switching voltage.

  • Patent number: 11404863
    Abstract: A power supply is configured to limit its output power, converting an input voltage on a primary side into a bus voltage on a secondary side. A current-sense resistor detects a bus current output from the power supply to provide a current-sense signal. A bus switch is electrically connected to a secondary winding on the secondary side, configured to selectively supply power to the bus voltage. A power delivery controller controls the bus switch in response to the current-sense signal and a power detection signal on the secondary side. The power delivery controller provides a power threshold in response to the bus voltage, compares the power detection signal with the power threshold, and turns off the bus switch to stop supplying power to the bus voltage if the power detection signal exceeds the power threshold, thereby limiting the output power of the power supply.
