    摘要: These teachings apply with respect to a direct current (DC)-output converter and provide for adjusting a number of switching pulses per burst cycle as a function, at least in part, of converter output loading. This adjustment can be made by controlling burst frequency with respect to at least one predetermined threshold frequency. The predetermined threshold frequency can comprise a non-audible frequency such that the number of switching pulses is adjusted to prevent the burst frequency from itself constituting an audible signal. The adjustment of the number of switching pulses per burst cycle may only occur when the output loading is less than a predetermined level of loading. These teachings may also provide for clamping the pulse frequency for the pulses in each burst package to a particular value when dynamically controlling the number of pulses in each burst package. The aforementioned particular value may constitute, for example, a highest available switching frequency.

    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, 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: On the secondary side of a flyback switching power converter, a compensation diode and a voltage divider with an averaging circuit generate an output current-compensated reference voltage that is proportional to converter output current. The current-compensated reference voltage is added to a regulation feedback controller reference voltage, which in turn adjusts the negative feedback signal to the PWM regulation controller on the primary side in proportion to the converter output current draw. The net effect is to increase the converter output voltage set-point in proportion to the converter output current draw as compensation for a voltage drop in a cable connecting the converter to a powered device. More precisely-regulated voltage levels may be delivered to an input of the powered device as a result.

    摘要: An electronic device includes a power stage, a switch and a controller. Power is transferred from an input through the power stage to an output. The switch turns on and off a current provided to the power stage for transferring the power. The controller turns on and off the switch. During a low-load mode, the controller causes the switch to operate with a constant on-time control.
