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 method for controlling a voltage converter includes the following steps. A feedback compensation signal is generated based on an output voltage of the voltage converter. An output representation signal is compared with a first threshold and a second threshold. A switch control signal to control the turn-on and turn-off of a power circuit of the voltage converter is adjusted based on an ultra-light load feedback value when the output representation signal is less than the first power threshold. The switch control signal is adjusted based on the feedback compensation signal when the output representation signal is greater than the first power threshold. The second threshold is greater than the first threshold, and the ultra-light load feedback value is greater than the feedback compensation signal when the output representation signal is equal to the second threshold.

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 controller used in a resonant converter having a switching circuit and a resonant tank. The switching circuit has a high side switch and a low side switch. The controller has a feedback processing circuit for providing a reference signal based on a feedback signal. The reference signal changes at a first slope based on the feedback signal when the feedback signal is higher than a first voltage threshold, and the reference signal changes at a second slope based on the feedback signal when the feedback signal is lower than the first voltage threshold. The turning off of the high side switch is controlled by a high side off signal, which is generated based on the reference signal and a voltage sampling signal indicative a voltage across a resonant capacitor of the resonant tank.

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.

The control reference circuit provides a peak current signal, a valley current signal and a turn-on delay signal based on a first current reference, a second current reference, and an input average current. The switching control circuit provides a switching control signal to control a dominant power switch of the PFC circuit based on a current sense signal, the peak current signal, the valley current signal, and the turn-on delay signal.

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.
