Abstract: Disclosed is a power converter circuit and a method for operating the power converter circuit. The power converter circuit includes at least one converter stage and a control circuit. The at least one converter stage includes an input configured to receive an input power, an output configured to supply an output power, a first electronic switch, and a first inductor coupled to the first electronic switch. The control circuit includes a hysteresis controller configured to drive the first electronic switch based on a current measurement signal representing a current through the inductor, a first threshold signal, and a second threshold signal, and an operating point controller configured to detect an operating point of the converter stage to generate the first threshold signal and the second threshold signal based on the detected operating point.

Abstract: A control circuit for a switching converter is described herein. In accordance with one embodiment the control circuit includes an analog bus that receives a plurality of input signals and a first set of functional units that are operable to receive at least some of the input signals via the analog bus and to process the input signals to generate digital output data based on the input signals. The control circuit further includes an event bus that has an event bus controller and a plurality of bus lines and a second set of functional units that are operable to receive the output data, via the event bus, from the functional units of the first set. At least one functional unit of the second set of functional units is operable to determine switching time instants for the switching converter based on the output data received via the event bus, and the event bus controller includes an arbiter operable to arbitrate data transmission across the bus lines.

Abstract: It is possible to achieve more precise power regulation in switched mode power supply systems by performing at least some control-loop processing on the secondary-side of the transformer. In particular, a secondary-side measurement is processed at least partially by a secondary-side controller to obtain a switching indication signal. The switching indication signal is then communicated from the secondary-side controller to a primary-side controller, where it is used to regulate the amount of energy applied to the primary winding. The switching indication signal may be any control signaling instruction that prompts the primary-side controller to regulate and/or modify the power applied to the primary winding. The switching indication signal may be communicated over an isolating signal path, such as a single-ended capacitive coupler, a differential capacitive coupler, an inductive coupler, or an opto-coupler.

Abstract: In accordance with an embodiment, a method of controlling a switched-mode power supply includes operating the switched-mode power supply in a first operating mode by monitoring a feedback signal from an output of the power supply using a feedback interface circuit in a first configuration. The method further includes determining when the feedback signal crosses a first threshold in a first direction, and transitioning the switched-mode power from the first operating to a second operating mode by switching the feedback interface circuit from the first configuration to a second configuration.
