Abstract:
An example controller for a switched mode power supply includes a drive signal generator and a zero-crossing detector. The drive signal generator is to be coupled to control switching of a switch included in the power supply to regulate an output of the power supply. The zero-crossing detector is coupled to the drive signal generator and coupled to receive a current sense signal representative of a switch current flowing through the switch. The zero-crossing detector generates a zero-crossing signal in response to comparing the current sense signal with a reference signal representative of a zero-crossing current threshold. The zero-crossing signal indicates when a zero-crossing condition of an ac line input voltage of the power supply exists.
