If the duty cycle of the power switch element is increased beyond 50%, then the power conversion efficiency is improved, but subharmonic oscillations occur and output stability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the detection circuit monitors the current through the main coil and feeds back a detection voltage to the controller. The controller adjusts the duty cycle based on this feedback signal, enabling stable operation at duty cycles greater than 50% by preventing subharmonic oscillations through closed-loop control
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the control parameter from fixed duty cycle to dynamically adjustable duty cycle based on feedback. By continuously adjusting the duty cycle parameter according to the detection voltage and reference voltage comparison, the system maintains stability while operating at high duty cycles that improve power conversion efficiency
