    摘要: Circuits and methods for converting a current to an output voltage are disclosed herein. An embodiment of the circuit includes a first switch connected between a source of current and a first node and a second switch connected between the first node and a common voltage. The circuit also includes a first controller for controlling the state of the first switch and a second controller for controlling the state of the second switch. A capacitor is coupled to the first node; the voltage on the capacitor is the output voltage. When the second switch is open, the capacitor charges, and when the second switch is closed, the capacitor does not charge. The current flows through the primary inductance of a transformer.

    摘要: A switching converter controller includes: a control loop adapted to be coupled to an output terminal of a power stage; and a hybrid hysteretic control (HHC) circuit coupled to the control loop. The HHC circuit includes a resonant capacitor voltage (Vcr) node adapted to be coupled to a resonant capacitor (Cr) of the power stage, where the Vcr node sums a sense voltage for Cr with a frequency compensation ramp. The HHC circuit also includes a soft-start controller coupled to the Vcr node. The soft-start controller includes a clamp circuit coupled to the Vcr node.

    摘要: Embodiments include systems, methods, and apparatuses for controlling off-time during a burst mode in an LLC converter. In one embodiment, a circuit comprises an LLC converter having a primary side and a burst mode controller, the burst mode controller configured to monitor, on the primary side of the LLC converter, electrical current, and in response to a determination that the electrical current is below a first threshold, increase an off-time for switches in the LLC converter and in response to a determination that the electrical current is above a second threshold that is higher than the first threshold, decrease the off-time for the switches in the LLC converter.
