  • Publication number: 20200336062
    Abstract: A transmitting/receiving command method applied between a master controller and a slave controller of a power converter includes enabling the master controller and the slave controller; a controller of the master controller and the slave controller detecting a node voltage of a pin of the controller; the controller transmitting a first command of a plurality of first commands to another controller of the master controller and the slave controller through the pin when the node voltage is less than a predetermined voltage, wherein the predetermined voltage corresponds to over temperature protection of the power converter; and the controller detecting the node voltage again after the controller receives a first return signal transmitted by the another controller.

  • Publication number: 20200274441
    Abstract: A power controller for use in a PFC power converter is capable being immune from audible noise during the test of load transient response. A transconductor with a transconductance compares an output voltage of the PFC power converter with a target voltage to provide a compensation current, which builds up a compensation voltage. An ON-time controller is configured to end an ON time of a power switch in response to the compensation voltage. An OFF-time controller is configured to end an OFF time of the power switch. A compensation-voltage designator presets the compensation voltage. A status detector controls the transconductor, the ON-time controller, the OFF-time controller, and the compensation-voltage designator, in response to the output voltage, a top-boundary voltage and a bottom-boundary voltage.

  • Patent number: 10742124
    Abstract: A power converter using an active-clamp flyback topology has a low-side switch, a high-side switch and a control circuit. The low-side switch connects a primary winding of a transformer to an input ground line, and the high-side switch is connected in series with a capacitor to form an active-clamp circuit connected in parallel with the primary winding. The control circuit provides high-side and low-side signals to the high-side and the low-side switches respectively, in response to a current-sense signal and a compensation signal. The control circuit is configured to operate the power converter in one of operation modes including a complementary mode and a non-complementary mode. When operated in the complementary mode, the high-side signal and the low-side signal are substantially complementary to each other, and the control circuit exits the complementary mode in response to the current-sense signal to enter the non-complementary mode.

  • Patent number: 10666153
    Abstract: A control method for a power convert is disclosed. The power convert uses an active-clamp flyback topology and has low-side and high-side switches. The low-side switch is switched to generate consecutive switching cycles including a modified flyback cycle and a normal flyback cycle. Each of the consecutive switching cycles is not less than a blanking time generated in response to a load of the power converter. The high-side switch is constantly turned OFF during the normal flyback cycle. The high-side switch is turned ON after the blanking time during the modified flyback cycle to perform zero-voltage switching for the low-side switch.
