[0002] In the field of power electronics, the stability and safety of power supply equipment have always been the focus of research and design. Traditional power supply equipment usually adopts single current limit point control, that is, only one fixed current limit value can be set during the output process of the equipment. However, with the increasing requirements of modern electronic equipment on power supply, single current limit point control has been difficult to meet the diversified needs in actual application.
[0003] In order to solve this problem, the industry has begun to explore power supply equipment with multiple current limit point control.
