Abstract:
A switching mode power supply with an adaptive setting of a threshold valley voltage. The switching mode power supply decreases a reference auxiliary current when a valley value of a primary switching voltage across a primary switch is smaller than a first threshold valley voltage. And in addition, the switching mode power supply can increase the reference auxiliary current when the valley value of the primary switching voltage is larger than a second threshold valley voltage.

Abstract:
Control method and circuit for resonant converters with capacitive protection. When a resonant converter enters into a capacitive mode, a high-side switch and a low-side switch of the resonant converter are turned off. After the high-side switch and a low-side switch are turned off for N switching cycles, the high-side switch is turned on once a current sense signal flowing through a resonant inductor of the resonant converter is increased to a zero-crossing threshold during an ascent stage of the current sense signal, and the low-side switch is turned on once the current sense signal is decreased to the zero-crossing threshold during a descent stage of the current sense signal.

A LED driving circuit, a control circuit and associated current sensing circuit. The control circuit has a sensing circuit, an estimation circuit, an amplifying circuit, a comparing circuit, a zero-cross detection circuit and a logic circuit. The sensing circuit is configured to sense a switching current flowing through at least one switch of a switching circuit to provide a first sensing signal. The estimation circuit is configured to process the first sensing signal to provide a feedback signal, wherein the feedback signal is indicative of a average current signal flowing through a LED. An average current flowing through the LED is regulated by sensing a switching current flowing through at least one switch.
