  • Patent number: 9414469
    Abstract: An integrated lamp with automatic emergency light and regular light is provided in the present invention. The integrated lamp with automatic emergency light and regular light is coupled to an AC power source, wherein the AC power source includes a first AC terminal and a second AC terminal. The integrated lamp is controlled by a lamp switch, where the lamp switch includes a first terminal and a second terminal, where an indication light circuit is coupled between the first terminal and the second terminal of the lamp switch. The integrated lamp includes an AC detector. The AC detector is coupled between the second terminal of the lamp switch and the second AC terminal. When the lamp switch is turned off, the AC detector determines whether the current state is a power failure state or a normal state according to the electrical current and/or voltage from the indication light circuit to the second AC terminal.

  • Publication number: 20160172962
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a flyback converter, a primary side control circuit therein, and a control method thereof. The flyback converter includes: a transformer circuit, a power switch circuit, a primary side control circuit, a synchronous rectification (SR) switch, and a synchronous rectification (SR) control circuit. When a feedback signal indicates that a difference between a target output voltage and an actual output voltage increases, the primary side control circuit increases an operation frequency of an operation signal by step-wisely reducing a cycle period of the operation signal in response to the increase of the difference, wherein the cycle period of the operation signal is reduced by a predetermined unit of time in each step, such that the cycle period of the operation signal is a step function of the increase of the difference.
