Abstract: An over-current protection circuit has a current sensing circuit, an over-current comparing circuit, an isolation circuit and a control circuit. The current sensing circuit generates a current sensing signal based on a current flowing through an inductor of a voltage converter. The over-current comparing circuit receives the current sensing signal and generates a first over-current indication signal based on the current sensing signal. The isolation circuit receives the first over-current indication signal and generates a second over-current indication signal based on the first over-current indication signal. The control circuit receives the second over-current indication signal, and generates a control signal to control a switch of the voltage converter. The control circuit turns off the switch when the second over-current indication signal indicates that an over-current condition occurs.

Abstract: A control circuit for controlling a PFC circuit is disclosed. The PFC circuit is controlled to operate in at least two working modes including CCM, BCM, and DCM in a single cycle of an input rectified voltage based on a load of the PFC circuit. The control circuit includes a control reference circuit and a switching control circuit. The control reference circuit provides a parameter control data based on a mode threshold and a half-sine wave signal. The switching control circuit provides a switching control signal to control a main power switch of the PFC circuit based on a current sense signal and the parameter control data. The current sense signal is indicative of a current flowing through an energy storage device of the PFC circuit.

Abstract: A control method for a switching converter with a main switch and a sync switch and converting an AC (alternating current) input voltage into an output voltage. The control method includes the following steps. 1) Determining whether the switching converter works in DCM or CRM. 2) When the switching converter works in CRM, turning off the sync switch when a first time period started from the time when an inductor current decreases to zero expires. 3) Turning on the main switch at a valley of a voltage across the main switch. And 4) turning off the main switch when an on time of the main switch reaches a second time period, where the second time period is related to the first time period.

Abstract: A totem pole PFC (Power Factor Correction) circuit, having: a first switch, a second switch and a control circuit. When the totem pole PFC circuit works in CCM (Continuous Current Mode), the control circuit is configured to turn on a main switch when a current detecting signal indicative of an AC input current of the totem pole PFC circuit decreases to a current valley reference signal, and keep the main switch ON for a first on-time period. When the totem pole PFC circuit works in DCM (Discontinuous Current Mode), the control circuit is configured to turn on the main switch at a valley of a switching voltage after expiry of a time delay started from when the AC input current decreases to zero, and keep the main switch ON for a second on-time period.

Abstract: A controller for a switching converter converting an AC input voltage into an output voltage. The controller includes a light load determining circuit, a voltage comparing circuit, a window generator and a switch control circuit. The light load determining circuit generates a light load determining signal indicating whether the switching converter operates in a light load mode. The voltage comparing circuit compares a first feedback voltage signal indicative of the output voltage with a first and a second reference voltage signals respectively to generate a first square wave signal. The window generator generates a second square wave signal based on a second feedback voltage signal indicative of the AC input voltage. The switch control circuit generates a switch control signal to control the power operation of the switching converter based on the light load determining signal, the first square wave signal and the second square wave signal.
