  • Publication number: 20120299563
    Abstract: A power converter and a control method using the same are provided. The converter includes a power output stage, a feedback circuit, and an input detecting circuit. The power output stage transfers an input voltage to an output voltage, and adjusts the output voltage according to a feedback signal. The feedback circuit is used for generating the feedback signal associated with the output voltage. The input detecting circuit is used for detecting a variation of the input voltage to produce an input related signal associated with the input voltage. The input related signal is used to influence the feedback signal in linkage, so as to change the output voltage of the power output stage.
