    摘要: A controller of a switching converter includes an error amplifying circuit, a first comparison circuit, a valley detection circuit, a valley selection circuit and a frequency control circuit. The error amplifying circuit generates a compensation signal based on the difference between a reference signal and a feedback signal. The first comparison circuit compares the compensation signal with a modulation signal and generates a pulse frequency modulation signal. The valley detection circuit detects valleys of a resonant voltage of the switching converter and generates a valley pulse signal. The valley selection circuit generates a valley enable signal corresponding to a target valley number based on the pulse frequency modulation signal and the valley pulse signal. The frequency control circuit generates a frequency control signal to control the switching frequency of the first switch based on the valley enable signal and the valley pulse signal.

    摘要: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a power supply system. The power supply system comprises a first loop and a second loop. The first loop includes a DC-DC conversion module connected in parallel to a first load, and each first terminal of the DC-DC conversion module and the first load that are connected in parallel is grounded. The second loop includes a storage battery connected in parallel to a second load, and each first terminal of the storage battery and the second load that are connected in parallel is grounded. The power supply system further includes a switch unit. The switch unit includes a switch. The switch is coupled in series between a second terminal of each of the DC-DC conversion module and the first load that are connected in parallel and a second terminal of each of the storage battery and the second load that are connected in parallel. The switch is in an on-state by default, so that a vehicle is started by using the storage battery in the second loop.

    摘要: Systems and methods are provided for regulating a power converter. An example system controller includes: a driver configured to output a drive signal to a switch to affect a current flowing through an inductive winding of a power converter, the drive signal being associated with a switching period including an on-time period and an off-time period. The switch is closed in response to the drive signal during the on-time period. The switch is opened in response to the drive signal during the off-time period. A duty cycle is equal to a duration of the on-time period divided by a duration of the switching period. One minus the duty cycle is equal to a parameter. The system controller is configured to keep a multiplication product of the duty cycle, the parameter and the duration of the on-time period approximately constant.
