Abstract: A power conversion circuit includes a high-side MOSFET and a low-side MOSFET. A conduction terminal of the high-side MOSFET is coupled to a conduction terminal of the low-side MOSFET at a half-bridge (HB) circuit node. The high-side MOSFET is switched off. Voltage potential transitions of the HB circuit node are counted while the high-side MOSFET and low-side MOSFET are off. Assertion of a control signal to the low-side MOSFET is postponed for two voltage potential transitions of the HB circuit node after the high-side MOSFET is switched off. The low-side MOSFET is switched off by de-asserting the control signal to the low-side MOSFET. Switching on the high-side MOSFET is postponed for two voltage potential transitions of the HB circuit node after switching off the low-side MOSFET.

Abstract: Switching circuits, half-bridge power converters, and methods for operating a switching circuit including a switching transistor coupled to a load. The method includes applying, with a driver, a gate voltage to the switching transistor. The method also includes generating, with a feedback capacitor, a feedback current based on a change in a voltage sensed at a drain terminal of the switching transistor when the switching transistor turns on. The method further includes applying the feedback current to the driver to limit the gate voltage applied to the switching transistor. The method also includes adjusting, with a controller, a switching slew rate of the switching transistor by draining an amount of the feedback current.

Abstract: Adjusting slope compensation. At least one example embodiment is a method including: operating a switching power converter comprising a charge control switch, the charge control switch configured to control power flow through the switching power converter, and the operating by a circuit controller; measuring, by the circuit controller, an attribute of duty cycle of a first period of the charge control switch; measuring, by the circuit controller, an attribute of duty cycle of a second period of the charge control switch; measuring, by the circuit controller, an attribute of duty cycle of a third period of the charge control switch; determining, by the circuit controller, that the switching power converter is experiencing subharmonic oscillation based on the first, second, and third attributes of duty cycle; and changing, by the circuit controller, an attribute of slope compensation responsive to the determining that the switching power supply is experiencing subharmonic oscillation.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a resonant converter circuit may be formed to include a light-load control circuit that forms a sequence to control one or more transistors wherein the sequence includes a drive interval having a drive pattern to drive the one or more transistors and a subsequent Off-interval wherein the one or more transistors are switched. A first circuit of the light-load control circuit may be configured to form the drive pattern as a repeated sequence of a pulse set that sequentially enables the one or more transistors with a base set followed by a number of non-switching intervals wherein each non-switching interval is a period of a signal formed in response to driving the one or more transistors with the base set.

Abstract: Resonant power converters. Example embodiments are integrated circuit controllers for a resonant power converter, the controllers including: a frequency controller configured to control frequency of signals driven to a high-side gate terminal and a low-side gate terminal; a fault detector configured to sense an overcurrent condition of a primary winding of the resonant power converter, and to assert an overcurrent signal responsive to the overcurrent condition; a feedback controller that, during periods of time when the overcurrent signal is de-asserted, is configured to sense a signal representative of output voltage by way of the feedback terminal and to create an intermediate signal; and the feedback controller further configured to, during periods when the overcurrent signal is asserted, modify the intermediate signal to increase the frequency of the signals driven to the high-side gate terminal and the low-side gate terminal.
