  • Patent number: 10972013
    Abstract: A switching power supply device includes a switching transistor, a sense resistor, a transformer, an optocoupler, and a current limiting feedback circuit. The switching transistor is controlled to be turned on and turned off. The sense resistor is configured to generate a sense voltage when the switching transistor is turned-on. The transformer includes a primary winding to which an input voltage is applied when the switching transistor is turned-on, a secondary winding is configured to supply an output voltage to a load, and an auxiliary winding that is configured to detect the output voltage. The optocoupler is configured to generate first and second optocoupler currents corresponding to the output voltage. The current limiting feedback circuit is configured to generate first, second, and third feedback currents using a voltage of the auxiliary winding, the first, second, and third feedback currents being in inverse proportion to the output voltage.

  • Patent number: 7206315
    Abstract: A router device and a cut-through path control method capable of carrying out the load balancing at an intermediate router device which actually has a multi-path information, without requiring a special processing at the edge router are disclosed. At a router device at which multi-path exists, one router among a plurality of routers that can possibly be a next hop router is selected so as to contribute to a load balancing, according to a whole or a prescribed part of information regarding a state of cut-through path set up in which the router device is involved, at a time of setting up a cut-through path in the multi-path, and a prescribed control for setting up the cut-through path with that one router as the next hop router is carried out.
