Abstract

A power supply controller is disclosed. An example power supply controller includes a signal separator circuit coupled to generate a feedback signal in response to a sense signal representative of an output of a power supply. An error signal generator is coupled to generate an error signal in response to the feedback signal and a reference signal. A control circuit is coupled to generate a drive signal in response to the error signal. The drive signal is coupled to control switching of a switch of the power supply. A multi-cycle modulation circuit is included in the control circuit and is coupled to generate a skip signal in response to a start skip signal, a stop skip signal and a skip mask signal. The skip mask signal is generated in response to the skip signal. The start skip and stop skip signals are coupled to cause the drive signal to start skipping or stop skipping, respectively, on-time intervals of cycles. The skip mask signal is coupled to disable the start skip signal from causing the drive signal to start skipping the on-time intervals of cycles.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to power supplies. In particular, the present invention relates to controllers for switching power supplies. Background technique [0002] In typical applications, the AC-DC power supply receives a relatively low frequency 100 to 240 volts rms input at nominally 50 Hz or 60 Hz from a common AC outlet. The AC input voltage is typically rectified within the power supply to become an unregulated DC voltage source for a DC-DC switching power converter. The switches within a power converter are typically turned on and off at a relatively high frequency (tens or hundreds of thousands of hertz) by a control circuit to provide a regulated output that may be suitable for operating electronic equipment, Or suitable for charging batteries that provide power to electronic devices. [0003] The design of a switching power supply is usually a compromise between the conflicting requirements of efficiency, size, weight and cost. The b...
