Abstract:
There is described an integrated circuit (103) for an oscillator (101) adapted to drive a control device (100) of a switching resonant converter; the converter comprises a switching circuit (Q1-Q2) adapted to drive a resonant load (Cr, 20) provided with at least one transformer (20) with at least a primary winding (L1) and at least a secondary winding (L2). The control device is adapted to drive the switching circuit and the converter is adapted to convert an input signal (Vin) into an output signal (Vout). The integrated circuit comprises first means (Q20, Q3-Q7, 113-115) adapted to charge and discharge a capacitor (Ct) by a first current signal (Ic + i p (t)) such that the voltage (Vct) at the terminals of said capacitor is between first (Vv) and second (Vp) reference voltages, with said second reference voltage higher than said first reference voltage. The current signal (Ic + i p (t)) comprises a second current signal (Ic) representative of the feedback loop that controls the output signal (Vout) of the converter; the integrated circuit comprises second means (110) adapted to rectify a signal (Vs) representative of the current (Ir) circulating in the primary winding (L1) and the first current signal (Ic + i p (t)) comprises a third current signal (i p (t)) proportional to the rectified signal.
