20110109281 | POWER FACTOR CORRECTION TYPE SWITCHING POWER SUPPLY UNIT - A multiplier multiplies a current signal of an Iy generator and a voltage signal from a Vx generator corresponding to a divided voltage value of an output voltage of a full-wave rectifier. The result of the multiplication is output as a current reference signal to the non-inversion input terminal of a current error amplifier. A current peak waveform generator circuit generates an envelope waveform of peak values of an inductor current. An Iz generator, when the envelope waveform exceeds a first threshold value smaller than a third threshold value set in an overcurrent protection circuit, curbs the inductor current by adjusting the size of a current signal output to the multiplier, and reducing the current reference signal. | 05-12-2011 |
20110122664 | POWER FACTOR CORRECTION TYPE SWITCHING POWER SUPPLY UNIT - A soft-stop overvoltage protection circuit, into which a soft-stop overvoltage detection voltage proportional to a direct current output voltage is input, reduces the output of a multiplier in accordance with the soft-stop overvoltage detection voltage when the soft-stop overvoltage detection voltage exceeds a first threshold value. An overvoltage protection circuit, a second threshold value higher than the first threshold value being set, compulsorily turns off a switching element by outputting an overvoltage detection signal when the soft-stop overvoltage detection voltage exceeds the second threshold value. The soft-stop overvoltage protection circuit compulsorily increases the output of a voltage error amplifier circuit on the output voltage decreasing. When the output of the voltage error amplifier circuit increases suddenly, and the output voltage rises excessively, the soft-stop overvoltage protection circuit decreases the output of the multiplier, thus curbing the rise of the output voltage. | 05-26-2011 |
20110141631 | POWER FACTOR CORRECTION TYPE SWITCHING POWER SUPPLY UNIT - A power factor correction type switching power supply unit can change reference values of an overcurrent limit at an optimum timing at a time of an overcurrent protection of a step-up type converter, so that no sudden change occurs in an inductor current. A detection level selection circuit selects one of first and second threshold values with a selection signal, and outputs it as an overcurrent detection level to an overcurrent detection circuit. An input voltage monitoring circuit determines the selection signal in such a way that the larger of two threshold values is selected when an alternating current input voltage exceeds a first reference voltage, and the smaller threshold value is selected when the alternating current input voltage does not exceed a second reference voltage, and outputs the selection signal to the detection level selection circuit at a timing at which the alternating current input voltage approaches a zero. | 06-16-2011 |
20140078792 | POWER SUPPLY DEVICE CONTROL CIRCUIT - In some aspects of the invention, overcurrent protection is carried out by suppressing fluctuations in current flowing through a switching element after overcurrent detection. A peak current reaching time detection circuit detects a peak current reaching time needed until current flowing through a switching element reaches a peak value. A difference voltage detection circuit, including a 1/2 time detection circuit which detects a time of 1/2 an ON time of the preceding cycle of the switching element, detects difference voltage between reference voltage used when detecting overcurrent flowing to a load and a signal which has detected current flowing through the switching element for the 1/2 time. A delay time adjustment circuit, based on at least one of the peak current reaching time and difference voltage, carries out adjustment and control of a delay time occurring until the time when the switching element is turned off after detecting the overcurrent. | 03-20-2014 |
