Abstract: A switch circuit is described, where a switch to be controlled is formed of two NMOS transistors having their source terminals connected together and their gate terminals connected together. Their drain terminals are the input and output terminals of the switch. A driver circuit controls a bootstrap circuit that is formed of a latching circuit and a capacitor. When the switch is in an off state, the driver circuit connects the capacitor to a charging voltage source for charging the capacitor to a bootstrap voltage, and applies a non-zero voltage across the latching circuit. When the driver circuit is controlled to turn on the switch, the driver circuit disconnects the capacitor from the charging voltage source, and the latching circuit becomes conductive and effectively connects the capacitor across the gate and source terminals of the switch to turn it on with the bootstrap voltage. The bootstrap voltage across the capacitor maintains the latching circuit in a latched conductive state.

Abstract: A flyback controller-may include a dimmer input configured to receive a chopped and rectified AC voltage. Each cycle of the signal may have an off period which is substantially attenuated but not always zero due to leakage of a dimmer control from which the chopped AC voltage originates, and an on period which substantially tracks the AC voltage. The ratio of the off period to the on period may be dependent upon a setting of the dimmer control. The flyback controller may include a control circuit configured to generate a switching signal based on the signal from the dimmer input. The switching signal may controllably oscillate between its on and off states during the on periods of the chopped and rectified AC voltage so as to controllably regulate current that is delivered by a secondary winding of a transformer in a flyback converter. The switching signal may be in the on state during the off periods of the chopped and rectified AC voltage, thereby preventing a voltage build up from the dimmer control leakage.

Abstract: A flyback controller generates a switching signal for controlling delivery of current into a primary winding of a transformer in a flyback converter. The controller may include an output current monitoring circuit configured to generate a signal representative of an average output current in a secondary winding of the transformer based on a peak input current in the primary winding and a duty cycle of current in the secondary winding. The flyback controller may generate a switching signal that causes a chopped AC voltage from a dimmer control to be converted by the flyback converter into an average output current from a secondary winding of the transformer that is DC isolated from the chopped AC voltage and that varies as a function of the setting of the dimmer control. The flyback controller may not utilize a signal from an opto-isolator.
