Abstract: A controller of an AC/DC flyback switching power supply uses adaptive digital control approaches to control the switching operation of a BJT power switch based on primary-side feedback to regulate the secondary-side constant output voltage and output current, without using the input line voltage. Switching-cycle by switching-cycle peak current control and limit are achieved based on the sensed primary-side current rather than the input line voltage in both constant-voltage and constant-current modes, operating in PWM, PFM and/or combinations of a plurality of PWM and PFM modes. The controller IC does not need a separate pin and ADC circuitry for sensing the input line voltage.
