Patent number: 9985536Abstract: A first switch and a second switch connected in series to both terminals of a DC power source. A signal generation circuit generates a feedback signal based on the DC voltage detected by the voltage detection circuit, and outputs the feedback signal, the feedback signal for turning the first and second switches on and off. A burst oscillation circuit that generates a burst oscillation signal based on a feedback signal and turns the first switch element and the second switch element on and off based on the burst oscillation signal when the standby state is detected. The burst oscillation circuit comprises a capacitor and a rapid charge circuit. When this device returns from standby state to normal state, the rapid charging circuit charges the capacitor after the feedback signal exceeds the cancellation threshold voltage.Type: GrantFiled: August 7, 2017Date of Patent: May 29, 2018Assignee: SANKEN ELECTRIC CO., LTD.Inventors: Takeki Sugahara, Osamu Ohtake

Patent number: 9979297Abstract: A burst oscillation circuit operates switches in a burst oscillation mode based on a feedback signal. A first burst operation cancellation threshold voltage comparator compares a first burst operation cancellation threshold voltage set higher than a voltage of the feedback signal that a load current reaches the standby threshold and a voltage of the feedback signal, and outputs a first output signal. A second burst operation cancellation threshold voltage comparator compares a second burst operation cancellation threshold voltage set lower than the voltage of the feedback signal that the load current reaches the standby threshold and higher than a voltage of the feedback signal during a non-oscillation period of the burst oscillation operation and the voltage of the feedback signal and outputs a second output signal. A standby cancellation circuit generates a standby cancel signal to cancel the standby state based on the first and second output signal.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2017Date of Patent: May 22, 2018Assignee: SANKEN ELECTRIC CO., LTD.Inventors: Takeki Sugahara, Osamu Ohtake
