  • Patent number: 11835592
    Abstract: The present application provides method and circuit for monitoring a voltage of a power supply, which adopts a divided voltage circuit to obtain a divided voltage from an input voltage of an input power source generated from the power supply, for detecting the input voltage according to the divided voltage by adopting a first detection circuit and a second detection circuit. Also, judging whether the divided voltage is clamped according to a clamp threshold value to determine the first detection circuit or the second detection circuit detecting a detection current and determine another detection circuit detecting the divided voltage. Hereby, the input voltage transmitted from a rectification circuit to the power supply is monitored, and the dependence between the two detection circuits is avoided.

  • Publication number: 20230369962
    Abstract: A switch control module for a switch mode power supply comprising a biased switch, an active switch and a control unit. The biased switch comprises a first node and a second node. The first node is coupled to a primary side winding. The active switch is connected to the second node. The control unit controls the ON/OFF states of the active switch and the biased switch is biased to be turned on initially. In this way, the active switch and the control unit are less likely to be damaged by voltage spikes generated by leakage in the primary side winding.
