[0002] With the popularity of LED lights, the diversification of LED power supplies has also emerged, and now there is more attention on the problem of LED flicker. The PFC circuit is the most effective circuit to solve the flicker problem, but most of the PFC post-stage circuit chips on the market will enter the intermittent mode when dimming into light load. This mode will directly affect the performance of the post-stage DC-DC circuit and will also cause the entire power supply to present different flashing or flickering conditions; and the traditional solution is basically to increase the load or increase the resistance of the PFC-MOS grounding resistor.
