20100061124System and Method for Power Conversion - A system and method for operating power supplies. A method comprises altering a current sense (CS) signal, turning off a switch of the converter in response to a determining that the CS signal is greater than or equal to a first threshold, and leaving on the switch of the converter in response to a determining that the CS signal is less than the first threshold.03-11-2010
20100157631AUDIBLE NOISE REDUCTION IN A POWER SUPPLY TRANSFOMER - This disclosure relates to a switching power supply with regulated voltage suppression to reduce transformer audio noise.06-24-2010
20100296318System and Method for Ringing Suppression in a Switched Mode Power Supply - In one embodiment, a method of operating a switched-mode power supply having a switch coupled to a drive signal is disclosed. The method includes shutting off the switch with the drive signal at a first instance of time, and comparing a magnitude of a voltage of a power supply node to a threshold after shutting off the switch. If the magnitude of the voltage of the power supply node exceeds the threshold, the switch is inhibited from turning on for a first time interval.11-25-2010
20100315838System and Method for Emissions Suppression in a Switch-Mode Power Supply - In one embodiment, a method of operating a switched-mode power supply that has a switch coupled to a drive signal is disclosed. The method includes deactivating the drive signal at a first instance of time, and comparing a power supply signal to a threshold after deactivating the drive signal. The method further includes activating the drive signal a variable period of time after the power supply signal crosses the threshold.12-16-2010
20110267844Controller for a Resonant Switched-Mode Power Converter - An embodiment of the invention relates to an LLC power converter including a controller configured to regulate an output characteristic of the power converter by controlling a power converter switching frequency. In a first mode of operation, the controller turns off a secondary-side power switch earlier than a turn-off time of a primary-side power switch by a time difference that is controlled by a resistor coupled to an external circuit node. In a second mode of operation, the controller turns on a secondary-side power switch at substantially the same time as the primary-side power switch, and turns off the secondary-side power switch after a maximum on time that is a nonlinear function of a load current of the power converter. The nonlinear function is a substantially constant function of the load current for a value of the load current higher than a threshold value.11-03-2011
20120033458System and Method for Power Conversion - A system and method for operating power supplies. A method comprises altering a current sense (CS) signal, turning off a switch of the converter in response to a determining that the CS signal is greater than or equal to a first threshold, and leaving on the switch of the converter in response to a determining that the CS signal is less than the first threshold.02-09-2012
