Abstract: A converter directly connectable to the mains comprises a rectifier stage of the network voltage, a power factor correction pre-regulating circuit supplied with the rectified network voltage and producing a DC voltage of a certain nominal value, a DC-DC converter supplied with the DC voltage of a certain nominal value and producing a pre-established DC voltage on an output node, sensing means producing a signal representative of the current level of load being supplied by the converter. The power consumption of the converter is lowered by a control circuit fed with the signal representative of the level of load that generates a disabling signal of the power factor corrector pre-regulating circuit as long as the level of load does not exceed a certain pre-established threshold.

Abstract: The power output of a static DC_DC converter employing a current mode PWM controller is controlled upon the varying of the switching frequency, by detecting the sawtooth signal produced by the local oscillator generating a DC signal with amplitude inversely proportional to the frequency and by alternatively clamping the output voltage of the error amplifier of the PWM controller at a voltage proportional to the amplitude of said DC signal or by offsetting the signal present on the currents sensing resistor by a voltage corresponding to the difference between a constant voltage and said DC signal.
