    摘要: A flyback converter is provided that dynamically adjusts a drain threshold voltage for a current cycle of a synchronous rectifier switch transistor based upon operating conditions in a previous cycle of the synchronous rectifier switch transistor. A differential amplifier drives a gate voltage of the synchronous rectifier switch transistor during an on-time of the current cycle so that a drain voltage of the synchronous rectifier switch transistor equals the drain threshold voltage during a regulated portion of the current cycle.

    摘要: An active-clamp flyback converter is provided with improved active-clamp switch control that switches on an active-clamp switch at an active-clamp switch on-time that equals a power switch on-time minus a peak charge time for an active-clamp capacitor. The peak charge time is the duration between the switching off of the power switch transistor and when the charging current through the active-clamp capacitor falls to zero. The controller measures this peak charge time following the switching off of the power switch transistor and then applies it to the subsequent switching on of the active-clamp switch so that the active-clamp switch is switched on at the power switch on-time minus the peak charge time.

    摘要: A flyback converter communication channel is provided that comprises a pair of capacitors. A transmitter on a first side of a transformer for the flyback converter transmits a transmitter signal over a first one of the capacitors. The transmitter also transmits a complement of the transmitter signal over a second one of the capacitors. A receiver on a second side of the transformer controls a switch transistor responsive to a high-pass-filtered difference of the received signals from the pair of capacitors.

    摘要: A DALI interface is provided that includes a digital isolator having an input terminal and an output terminal. A DALI bus controlled by a master device controls a binary voltage state of a voltage rail. A DFET couples between the input terminal and the output terminal to control a voltage of the input terminal responsive to the control of the DALI bus by the master device. The digital isolator responds to the control of the input terminal voltage to drive a digital signal through an isolation barrier to control a voltage of the output terminal to control a slave lighting device.

    摘要: Disclosed is a universal primary-only output current regulation for a flyback converter. A controller determines a peak sense resistor voltage responsive to a desired average output current for the flyback converter during a continuous conduction mode of operation. After a power switch transistor is cycled on, the controller monitors a sense resistor voltage to determine when the sense resistor voltage equals the peak sense resistor voltage. The controller switches off the power switch transistor when the sense resistor voltage equals the peak sense resistor voltage to maintain an average output current for the flyback converter equal to the desired average output current.
