Switch mode power supplies, control arrangements therefor and methods of operating thereof
Abstract:
A control arrangement is disclosed for a switch mode power supply (SMPS) operable in a burst mode and comprising an opto-coupler configured to transfer, from a secondary side to a primary side of the switch mode power supply by means of an LED current, a control signal indicative of a time-varying error between a reference signal and a signal indicative of an actual value of an output parameter, the control arrangement comprising: an error amplifier configured to operate as a proportional-integrating error amplifier to determine the LED current from the time-varying; and a feedback loop configured to adjust the magnitude of the LED current between bursts by modifying the time-dependant error. A SMPS comprising such a control arrangement, and a corresponding method is also disclosed.
