    Abstract: Electronic circuitry includes a control circuit controlling a drive circuit for a semiconductor device; and a delay circuit receiving a first signal instructing the drive circuit to drive the semiconductor device with first driving force and output the first signal to the control circuit. The delay circuit receives a second signal at an interval of a first time or “n” times of the first time after the first signal is received, “n” being an integer greater than or equal to 2, and the second signal instructing the drive circuit to drive the semiconductor device with second driving force, delays outputting of the second signal for a delay time shorter than the first time, and outputs the second signal to the control circuit after the first signal is outputted and further after the first time or “n” times of the first time and the delay time elapses.

    Abstract: In a control apparatus, a transfer unit is installed in both low- and high-voltage regions while straddling a boundary between the low- and high-voltage regions. The transfer unit transfers a switching control signal outputted from a control signal generator to the high-voltage region. A controller installed in the high-voltage region performs, based on the control signal, switching control of each of the upper- and lower-arm switches. A distinct-signal generator installed in the low-voltage region generates a distinct signal distinct from the control signal as long as no power-supply anomaly from the power storage unit has occurred, and outputs the distinct signal to the transfer unit. An anomaly determiner is provided in the high-voltage region, and the distinct signal is inputtable to the anomaly determiner through the transfer unit. The anomaly determiner determines whether the power-supply anomaly has occurred based on information on the distinct signal.

    Abstract: Disclosed is a power control system with zero voltage switching including a power controller, a rectification unit, a power unit, a transformer unit, a primary side switch unit, a current sensing unit, an auxiliary switch unit, an output unit, and a current sensing unit for implementing a function of flyback power conversion. The power controller has a power pin, a ground pin, a primary side driving pin, a voltage sensing pin, an auxiliary driving pin, and an auxiliary winding sensing pin, In particular, the auxiliary switch unit is controlled to influence an primary side winding through an auxiliary winding so as to reduce the drain voltage of the primary side switch unit. Further, the primary side switch unit is turned on when the drain voltage is decreased to the lowest value, thereby greatly reducing switching loss and increasing efficiency of power conversion.

    Abstract: A control circuit for controlling a power supply circuit to provide power to a system device which includes a communication circuit includes: a pulse width modulation (PWM) controller configured to switch a transformer of the power supply circuit to generate a first output voltage; and a switched capacitor converter configured to generate a second output voltage according to the first output voltage. The second output voltage provides power to the communication circuit, wherein the communication circuit generates a power saving signal to control the PWM controller and the switched capacitor converter. When the power saving signal is enabled, the first output voltage is decreased and a duty ratio of the switched capacitor converter is increased.
