摘要: A synchronous rectifier controller integrated circuit. The synchronous rectifier controller integrated circuit comprises a continuous current mode (CCM) detection circuit configured to detect CCM operation based on sensing a voltage at a pre-defined point in a rectification cycle; a multiplexer having a first reference voltage signal input, a second reference voltage signal input, an output, and a selector input coupled to the CCM detection circuit; and a gate voltage driver circuit coupled to the output of the multiplexer.

摘要: Methods of operating switching power supplies are disclosed. A power supply has a transformer and a switch coupled to the primary side of the transformer for controlling the current flow through the primary side of the transformer. A method includes determining the output voltage of the power supply. A first minimum switching frequency is generated for driving the switch in response to the output voltage being greater than a nominal output voltage and less than a predetermined voltage. A second minimum switching frequency is generated for driving the switch in response to the output voltage being equal to or greater than the predetermined voltage, wherein the first minimum switching frequency is greater than the second minimum switching frequency.

摘要: Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture are disclosed for adaptive synchronous rectifier control. An example apparatus includes an adaptive off-time control circuit to determine a first voltage and a second voltage when a drain voltage of a switch satisfies a voltage threshold, the first voltage based on a first off-time of the switch, the second voltage based on the first off-time and a first scaling factor, determine a third voltage based on a second scaling factor and a second off-time of the switch, the second off-time after the first off-time, and determine a third off-time of the switch based on at least one of the second voltage or the third voltage. The example apparatus further includes a driver to turn off the switch for at least the third off-time after the second off-time.

摘要: A DC-to-DC converter having primary- and secondary-side circuitry separated by an isolation barrier, with a transformer and a feedback lane across the barrier, uses a dynamic function current source in its secondary-side circuitry to dynamically adjust the hysteresis threshold only at the transformer burst turn-off edge to provide enhanced immunity to transformer switching noise. An output voltage of the converter (or signal based thereon) is compared to the threshold to provide an input to a timing pulse generator that closes a switch to couple the dynamic function current source into voltage threshold setting circuitry. The dynamic function current source can reduce the threshold to a level that avoids chattering in transformer burst turn-off feedback signal caused by the noise, for a duration that can be based on lane delay of the converter and to an amplitude that can be based on the expected maximum negative amplitude of the noise.
