AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

High switching frequencies can lead to an increase in so-called drive losses and so-called switching losses
While drive losses are caused by the electrical power required to switch the switching elements, there are two different types of switching losses
The first type of switching losses is given by the simultaneous presence of a current through the switching element and a voltage across the terminals of the switching element during switching of the switching element ("hard switching" condition)
The second type of switching loss, typically referred to as capacitive loss, is caused by the parasitic capacitance associated with each switching element, which discharges across the resistance of the switching element itself when the switching element is activated

Abstract

The present invention relates to switch mode power supply current monitoring and protection. An apparatus for current protection includes a switch mode power supply controller. The switched mode power supply controller comprises an inrush current comparator arranged to compare the primary winding current with an inrush current threshold at least during at least one of a startup phase or a burst phase. The switch mode power supply controller also includes a switch controller arranged to control regulation of the output voltage by controlling switching on and off of the primary switch based on a feedback signal based at least in part on the output voltage. The switch controller is further arranged to, if the inrush current comparator determines that the primary winding current has reached the inrush current threshold, control the primary switch to turn off and to remain off until at least a next switching cycle.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to switched mode power supplies, and more particularly to current monitoring and protection for switched mode power supplies with isolated topologies. Background technique [0002] A switch mode power supply is an electronic power supply that uses a switching regulator to generate the supply voltage. High switching frequencies can lead to an increase in so-called driving losses and so-called switching losses. While drive losses are caused by the electrical power required to switch the switching elements, there are two different types of switching losses. The first type of switching losses is given by the simultaneous presence of a current through the switching element and a voltage across the terminals of the switching element ("hard switching" condition) during switching of the switching element. A second type of switching loss, typically referred to as capacitive loss, is caused by the parasitic capacitance associated...
