    摘要: A BD type pulse width modulation (PWM) circuit is configured to convert a pair of complementary input signals to a pair of output PWM signals. The BD PWM circuit modulates a basic modulation signal according to the pair of input signals, to generate a basic PWM signal. The common mode levels of the pair of input signals and the basic modulation signal are the same. The BD PWM circuit modulates an offset modulation signal according to the pair of input signals to generate an offset PWM signal. The offset modulation signal and the basic modulation signal have a non-zero offset in between. The BD PWM circuit selects the offset PWM signal or a heavy load PWM signal as the pair of output PWM signals. The heavy load PWM signal is correlated with the basic PWM signal.

    摘要: A switched capacitor converter circuit includes: a conversion capacitor; an output capacitor; and switches configured to switch the coupling configurations of the conversion capacitor and the output capacitor according to a level of the first power supply voltage of the switched capacitor converter circuit, to generate the second power supply voltage at the output capacitor according to the first power supply voltage. The second power supply voltage provides power to control the power converter circuit. When the first power supply voltage is higher than a high threshold, the switched capacitor converter circuit controls the second power supply voltage to be lower than the first power supply voltage. When the first power supply voltage is lower than a low threshold, the switched capacitor converter circuit controls the second power supply voltage to be higher than the first power supply voltage.

    摘要: A resonant half-bridge flyback power converter includes: a first transistor and a second transistor which form a half-bridge circuit; a transformer and a resonant capacitor connected in series and coupled to the half-bridge circuit; and a switching control circuit configured to generate a first driving signal and a second driving signal to control the first transistor and the second transistor respectively for switching the transformer to generate an output voltage. The first driving signal is configured to magnetize the transformer. The second driving signal includes at most one pulse between two consecutive pulses of the first driving signal. The switching control circuit generates a skipping cycle period when an output power is lower than a predetermined threshold. A resonant pulse of the second driving signal is skipped during the skipping cycle period. The skipping cycle period is increased in response to the decrease of the output power.

    摘要: A class-D amplifying system includes: a first digital-to-analog converter (DAC), a class-D amplifier circuit and a second DAC. The first DAC generates an analog input signal according to a digital input signal. The class-D amplifier circuit generates an output signal according to the analog input signal in a pulse width modulation (PWM) manner. The second DAC generates a common mode (CM) adjustment current for adjusting a CM voltage of the analog input signal according to one or more of the following parameters: (1) the CM voltage of the analog input signal; and/or (2) a driving power. A power stage circuit of the class-D amplifier circuit is powered by the driving power. The second DAC determines which parameter the CM adjustment current is correlated to according to: (A) A level state of the output signal; and/or (B) A level state of a PWM signal of the class-D amplifier circuit.
