  • Method of forming a power supply controller and structure therefor
    Patent number: 9467055
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method of forming a power supply controller includes forming the power supply controller to receive an input signal that is representative of an ac signal, and forming the power supply controller to form an average value of an output current over a period of a drive signal that is formed by the power supply controller to have a waveshape of substantially one of a squared version of the input signal or a waveshape of the input signal.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 17, 2013
    Date of Patent: October 11, 2016
    Assignee: SEMICONDUCTOR COMPONENTS INDUSTRIES, LLC
    Inventors: Stephanie Conseil, Joel Turchi
  • Circuit for generating a clock signal for interleaved PFC stages and method thereof
    Patent number: 8988048
    Abstract: A method and circuit for generating a clock signal. A power factor correction circuit has n channels operating out of phase and independently. The circuit is able to generate a clock signal for each channel according to the current cycle duration of each channel.

  • Method for providing over current protection and circuit
    Patent number: 8830644
    Abstract: A method and circuit for protecting against an over current condition. A conduction time of one or more transistors is reduced during the over current condition. The conduction time is reduced in an amount that is an increasing function of the amount of the over current. The conduction time may be reduced proportionally to the excess current.

  • Quasi-resonant power supply controller and method therefor
    Patent number: 8391027
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a quasi-resonant power supply controller is configured to select particular valley values of a switch voltage to determine a time to enable a power switch. The valleys values are selected responsively to a range of values of a feedback signal.
