An Adaptive Multi-Mode PWM Control PSR Flyback Converter

Abstract

In this paper, an adaptive multi-mode PWM control PSR flyback converter is proposed. In constant voltage (CV) mode, the converter adopts primary-side regulate (PSR) scheme to detect load information through the auxiliary winding, which reflects the load information on the voltage of [Formula: see text]. The converter adjusts the switching frequency according to the voltage of [Formula: see text] under different load conditions, realizing adaptive multi-mode PWM control to significantly improve light- load efficiency and thus the overall average efficiency. Besides, it does not give compromise to other system performance, such as audible noise, standby power consumption, and regulation. To verify the feasibility and performance of the proposed circuit, the converter has been designed and fabricated in HHGRACE_0.35[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]m BCD process and verified in a 5V/1A circuit prototype. The experimental results show that 25% load power efficiency of the proposed converter is 78.1%, which is improved by up to 3.4% compared to the conventional converter.
