In order to detect the two sets of input power, it is often necessary to use another pin to connect to the main power source to detect the change of the main power supply. The problem is that the two groups of power input sequences are different, which may cause the normal start (st_p). 4 Reference Fig. 1 is a diagram showing a prior art power converter 1 。. The power converter 1A includes a voltage controller 11A and a power output stage (2). The voltage controller H0 can receive a feedback signal FB, an input power through the first wheel input pin 112, a second input pin 7 200901607 114, a second input pin ii6 and an output pin 118, respectively. Vw, - control VCNTL, and output - drive signal DRV. The input voltage VrN is generated by a power supply for providing a main power supply for voltage conversion of the power converter 10, and the control voltage VCNTL is for supplying the operating power of the driving voltage controller 110. The voltage controller generates a driving signal DRV according to the feedback signal FB, which further includes an error amplification n 13 () and a comparator 140. The error amplifier 130 can receive the feedback FB and the reference voltage Vref through a first input terminal 132 and a second input terminal 134, so as to be outputted by the surface terminal 136 according to the comparison feedback signal FB and the reference voltage Vre!

The pin 218 outputs a driving signal DRV. The voltage controller 210 is similar to the voltage controller 110 in FIG. 1 'the difference is that the voltage controller 210 does not additionally use a pin to detect the voltage level of the input voltage Vin. The voltage controller 21〇9 200901607 also includes an error amplifier 23〇, which functions and switches in the same manner as the error amplifier 130 in FIG. 1 , and generates a driving signal DRV according to the result of comparing the feedback signal FB with the reference voltage. Since the voltage controller 2H) does not use an additional pin-to-input voltage Υγν voltage, the rising slope of the operating voltage Vqut is not (4), and the function of the system soft start (Soft Start) cannot be provided. Or you must have special requirements on the input power sequence (~ body blank) to avoid problems with the system that cannot start normally. As a result, it will increase many application restrictions. In the above example, the voltage controller 11G uses the second input pin ιΐ4 to receive the input ν^_ 其 size, so that the f source converter 1 〇 can provide the Nylon soft _ Wei n frequency electric axis The number of _ and the cost have also increased relatively.
