In addition, the first diode D1 and the first capacitor C1 may be designer added elements or parasitic elements formed in the first switch SW1. In addition, the position of the first switch SW1 is not limited to being coupled between the first side and the ground terminal. In other embodiments, the first switch SW1 is coupled between the input voltage Vin and the first side.

第二側和第二開關SW2串聯連接於返馳式轉換器10的輸出端OUT1和OUT2之間。第二二極體D2、第二電容C2和第二開關SW2並聯連接。在本實施例中,第二開關SW2由MOSFET實現。第二開關SW2的汲極端、第二二極體D2的陰極和第二電容C2的一端連接到變壓器11的第二側。第二開關SW2的源極端、第二二極體D2的陽極和第二電容C2的另一端連接到輸出端OUT2。The second side and the second switch SW2 are connected in series between the output terminals OUT1 and OUT2 of the flyback converter 10 .

In addition, the position of the second switch SW2 is not limited to being coupled between the second side and the output terminal OUT2. In other embodiments, the second switch SW2 is coupled between the second side and the output terminal OUT1.

第一控制電路110耦接在輸出端OUT1和第二開關SW2之間。第一控制電路110依據輸出電壓Vout和輸出電流IS以通過啟用訊號VGS來啟用/停用第二開關SW2。當啟用第二開關SW2時,自變壓器11的第二側提供能量至輸出端OUT1和OUT2之間的輸出負載。第二控制電路120耦接於第一控制電路110和第一開關SW1之間。第二控制電路120用於通過啟用信號VGP來啟用/停用第一開關SW1。當啟用第一開關SW1時,自輸入電壓Vin提供能量至變壓器11的第一側。The first control circuit 110 is coupled between the output terminal OUT1 and the second switch SW2. The first control circuit 110 enables/disables the second switch SW2 through the enable signal VGS according to the output voltage Vout and the output current IS. When the second switch SW2 is enabled, energy is supplied from the second side of the transformer 11 to the output load between the output terminals OUT1 and OUT2. The second control circuit 120 is coupled between the first control circuit 110 and the first switch SW1. The second control circuit 120 is used to enable/disable the first switch SW1 through the enable signal VGP. When the first switch SW1 is enabled, energy is supplied to the first side of the transformer 11 from the input voltage Vin.

對於返馳式轉換器10,第一開關SW1和第二開關SW2的導通時間是交錯的。也就是說,當第一開關SW1被啟用時,第二開關SW2被停用,反之亦然。同時參考圖1和圖2,其中圖2是依據本申請一實施例之返馳式轉換器10的第一部分操作的時序圖。如圖2所示,在時間點t0時,啟用訊號VGP拉高並指示第一開關SW1導通。因應第一開關SW1的啟用,輸入電流IP被提供至變壓器11的第一側。具體地說,輸入電流IP從輸入電壓Vin流向變壓器11的第一側,並作為電能被儲存。For the flyback converter 10, the conduction times of the first switch SW1 and the second switch SW2 are staggered. That is, when the first switch SW1 is activated, the second switch SW2 is deactivated, and vice versa. Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2 simultaneously, FIG. 2 is a timing diagram of a first part of the operation of the flyback converter 10 according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 2 , at the time point t0 , the enable signal VGP is pulled high and instructs the first switch SW1 to be turned on. In response to the activation of the first switch SW1 , the input current IP is provided to the first side of the transformer 11 . Specifically, the input current IP flows from the input voltage Vin to the first side of the transformer 11 and is stored as electrical energy.

在時間點t1時,啟用訊號VGP拉低並指示停用第一開關SW1。同時,啟用訊號VGS拉高並指示啟用第二開關SW2。因應第一開關SW1的停用和第二開關SW2的啟用,在變壓器11的第二側會感應產生輸出電流IS。具體地說,輸出電流IS從變壓器11的第二側流向輸出負載。此外,在時間點t1時,輸入端IN上的電壓VP被拉高到Vin+NVout。從時間點t1開始,輸出電流IS不斷地向輸出負載提供能量,使得輸出電流IS的大小逐漸减小。另一方面,輸出電壓Vout逐漸升高到峰值後下降。At time point t1, the enable signal VGP is pulled low and instructs the first switch SW1 to be disabled. At the same time, the enable signal VGS is pulled high and instructs to enable the second switch SW2. In response to the deactivation of the first switch SW1 and the activation of the second switch SW2 , an output current IS is induced on the second side of the transformer 11 . Specifically, the output current IS flows from the second side of the transformer 11 to the output load. Furthermore, at the time point t1, the voltage VP on the input terminal IN is pulled up to Vin+NVout. From the time point t1, the output current IS continuously provides energy to the output load, so that the magnitude of the output current IS gradually decreases. On the other hand, the output voltage Vout gradually increases to a peak value and then decreases.

在時間點t2時,輸出電流IS的大小降低到零。據此,啟用訊號VGS拉低並指示停用第二開關SW2。至此,第一控制電路110和第二控制電路120在切換週期中的第一部分操作結束。At the time point t2, the magnitude of the output current IS decreases to zero. Accordingly, the enable signal VGS is pulled low and instructs the second switch SW2 to be disabled. So far, the first part of the operation of the first control circuit 110 and the second control circuit 120 in the switching cycle ends.

再次參考圖1,返馳式轉換器10還包括輸出電容CO和檢測電阻Rd,其中輸出電容CO耦接在輸出端OUT1和OUT2之間,檢測電阻Rd耦接在變壓器11的第二側和第一控制電路110之間。輸出電容CO儲存輸出電流IS所提供的能量。檢測電阻Rd向第一控制電路110提供反饋資訊FD。在某些實施例中,反饋資訊FD是檢測電阻Rd上的跨壓。在某些實施例中,反饋資訊FD反映了輸出電流IS的大小。例如,當輸出電流IS在時間點t2减小到零時,反饋資訊FD通知第一控制電路110,並且第一控制電路110相應地在時間點t2停用第二開關。Referring to FIG. 1 again, the flyback converter 10 further includes an output capacitor CO and a detection resistor Rd, wherein the output capacitor CO is coupled between the output terminals OUT1 and OUT2, and the detection resistor Rd is coupled between the second side of the transformer 11 and the first between a control circuit 110 . The output capacitor CO stores the energy provided by the output current IS. The detection resistor Rd provides feedback information FD to the first control circuit 110 . In some embodiments, the feedback information FD is the voltage across the detection resistor Rd. In some embodiments, the feedback information FD reflects the magnitude of the output current IS. For example, when the output current IS decreases to zero at time t2, the feedback information FD informs the first control circuit 110, and the first control circuit 110 accordingly deactivates the second switch at time t2.

在本實施例中,第一控制電路110還用於通過改變在第二開關SW2和變壓器11的第二側之間的輸出電流IS的電流方向來調整輸入端IN上的電壓VP。如此一來可降低第一開關SW1的切換損耗,並提高效率。第一控制電路110和第二控制電路120的細節將於後續段落描述。In this embodiment, the first control circuit 110 is also used to adjust the voltage VP on the input terminal IN by changing the current direction of the output current IS between the second switch SW2 and the second side of the transformer 11 . In this way, the switching loss of the first switch SW1 can be reduced, and the efficiency can be improved. Details of the first control circuit 110 and the second control circuit 120 will be described in subsequent paragraphs.

圖3是依據本發明一實施例之第一控制電路110的示意圖。第一控制電路110包括觸發電路210。觸發電路210通過比較輸出電壓Vout與參考電壓VREF來產生觸發訊號TG。具體地,參考圖4,圖4是依據本申請一實施例之觸發電路210的示意圖。觸發電路210包括比較電路211和脈衝產生電路212。比較電路211通過比較輸出電壓Vout與參考電壓VREF來產生指示訊號ID。當指示訊號ID指示輸出電壓Vout小於參考電壓VREF時,脈衝產生電路212產生脈衝訊號作為觸發訊號TG。FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of the first control circuit 110 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The first control circuit 110 includes a trigger circuit 210 . The trigger circuit 210 generates the trigger signal TG by comparing the output voltage Vout with the reference voltage VREF. Specifically, referring to FIG. 4 , FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of a trigger circuit 210 according to an embodiment of the present application. The flip-flop circuit 210 includes a comparison circuit 211 and a pulse generating circuit 212 . The comparison circuit 211 generates the indication signal ID by comparing the output voltage Vout with the reference voltage VREF. When the indication signal ID indicates that the output voltage Vout is lower than the reference voltage VREF, the pulse generating circuit 212 generates a pulse signal as the trigger signal TG.

再次參考圖3,第一控制電路110還包括第一導通時間控制電路220。第一導通時間控制電路220通過啟用訊號VGS來啟用/停用第二開關SW2。在本實施例中,第一導通時間控制電路220包括但不限於用於控制第二開關SW2的啟用/停用的SR控制電路。舉例來說,在時間點t2時,當反饋資訊FD指示輸出電流IS减小至零時,SR控制電路停用第二開關SW2。Referring again to FIG. 3 , the first control circuit 110 further includes a first on-time control circuit 220 . The first on-time control circuit 220 enables/disables the second switch SW2 through the enable signal VGS. In this embodiment, the first on-time control circuit 220 includes, but is not limited to, an SR control circuit for controlling the activation/deactivation of the second switch SW2. For example, at the time point t2, when the feedback information FD indicates that the output current IS decreases to zero, the SR control circuit disables the second switch SW2.

此外,當觸發訊號TG指示輸出電壓Vout小於參考電壓VREF時,第一導通時間控制電路220通過啟用訊號VGS來進一步啟用第二開關SW2,並且當第二開關SW2啟用達到預設時長時,通過啟用訊號VGS以停用第二開關SW2。In addition, when the trigger signal TG indicates that the output voltage Vout is less than the reference voltage VREF, the first on-time control circuit 220 further enables the second switch SW2 by using the enable signal VGS, and when the second switch SW2 is enabled for a preset time The enable signal VGS is used to disable the second switch SW2.

同時參考圖1和圖5,其中圖5是依據本申請一實施例之返馳式轉換器10的第二部分操作的時序圖。如上所述,在時間點t2時,輸出電流IS减小至零並停止提供能量。然而,輸出電容CO將會為輸出負載提供能量,使得輸出電壓Vout在時間點t2之後繼續降低。另外,由於第一開關SW1和第二開關SW2都在時間點t2停用,輸入端IN上的電壓VP開始震盪。換言之,從時間點t2到時間點t3,電壓VP可以上升或下降。電壓VP從時間點t2到時間點t3的波形取決於輸出負載。Referring to FIGS. 1 and 5 simultaneously, FIG. 5 is a timing diagram of a second part of the operation of the flyback converter 10 according to an embodiment of the present application. As described above, at the time point t2, the output current IS decreases to zero and stops supplying energy. However, the output capacitor CO will provide energy to the output load, so that the output voltage Vout continues to decrease after the time point t2. In addition, since both the first switch SW1 and the second switch SW2 are disabled at the time point t2, the voltage VP on the input terminal IN starts to oscillate. In other words, from the time point t2 to the time point t3, the voltage VP may rise or fall. The waveform of the voltage VP from the time point t2 to the time point t3 depends on the output load.

在時間點t3時,輸出電壓Vout小於參考電壓VREF。具有脈衝波形的觸發訊號TG因此產生,並且啟用訊號VGS相應地拉高。因此,第二開關SW2在時間點t3啟用。因應第二開關SW2的啟用,輸入端IN上的電壓VP再次拉高至Vin+NVout。At the time point t3, the output voltage Vout is less than the reference voltage VREF. The trigger signal TG with the pulse waveform is thus generated, and the enable signal VGS is pulled high accordingly. Therefore, the second switch SW2 is activated at the time point t3. In response to the activation of the second switch SW2, the voltage VP on the input terminal IN is pulled up to Vin+NVout again.

由於第二開關SW2在輸出電流IS减小至零之後被啟用,因此,在時間點t3時,進一步感應生成具有不同電流方向的輸出電流IS。具體地說,從時間點t1到時間點t2,輸出電流IS的電流方向為順時針。換言之,輸出電流IS經過變壓器11、輸出電容CO、第二開關SW2,然後返回變壓器11。從時間點t3開始,輸出電流IS的電流方向為逆時針。換言之,輸出電流IS經過變壓器11、第二開關SW2、輸出電容CO,然後返回到變壓器11。Since the second switch SW2 is activated after the output current IS is reduced to zero, at the time point t3, the output current IS with different current directions is further induced. Specifically, from the time point t1 to the time point t2, the current direction of the output current IS is clockwise. In other words, the output current IS passes through the transformer 11 , the output capacitor CO, the second switch SW2 , and then returns to the transformer 11 . From the time point t3, the current direction of the output current IS is counterclockwise. In other words, the output current IS passes through the transformer 11 , the second switch SW2 , the output capacitor CO, and then returns to the transformer 11 .

在時間點t4時,啟用訊號VGS拉低。因此,第二開關SW2在時間點t4時被停用。因應第二開關SW2在時間點t4被停用,輸出電流IS的大小再次降低至零。At time point t4, the enable signal VGS is pulled low. Therefore, the second switch SW2 is deactivated at the time point t4. Since the second switch SW2 is deactivated at the time point t4, the magnitude of the output current IS is reduced to zero again.

由於輸出電流IS的大小在時間點t4被拉到零,使得輸入電流IP相應地感應生成於變壓器11的第一側。具體地說,輸入電流IP經由輸入端IN從第一電容C1流向輸入電壓Vin。響應於輸入電流IP在時間點t4時的生成,輸入端IN上的電壓VP開始降低。在時間點t5時,電壓VP减小至零。至此,返馳式轉換器10的切換週期的第二部分操作結束,返馳式轉換器10的操作將返回到第一部分,依此類推。每個切換週期從t1重複到t5,如此一來即可達到穩壓的效果。Since the magnitude of the output current IS is pulled to zero at the time point t4 , the input current IP is correspondingly generated inductively on the first side of the transformer 11 . Specifically, the input current IP flows from the first capacitor C1 to the input voltage Vin via the input terminal IN. In response to the generation of the input current IP at time point t4, the voltage VP on the input terminal IN begins to decrease. At time point t5, the voltage VP decreases to zero. So far, the operation of the second part of the switching cycle of the flyback converter 10 ends, the operation of the flyback converter 10 will return to the first part, and so on. Each switching cycle repeats from t1 to t5, so that the effect of voltage regulation can be achieved.

通過在時間點t3到時間點t4之間感應生成具有相反電流方向的輸出電流IS,輸入端IN上的電壓VP可以藉由通過輸入端IN從第一電容C1流向輸入電壓Vin的輸入電流IP降低到零。如此設置之下,可以降低第一開關SW1的切換損耗,並且可以提高返馳式轉換器10的效率。By inducing the output current IS with the opposite current direction between the time point t3 and the time point t4, the voltage VP on the input terminal IN can be reduced by the input current IP flowing from the first capacitor C1 to the input voltage Vin through the input terminal IN to zero. With this arrangement, the switching loss of the first switch SW1 can be reduced, and the efficiency of the flyback converter 10 can be improved.

需要注意的是,為了將電壓VP精確地降低到零,輸入電流IP從時間點t4到時間點t5的時間段內所提供的能量必須精確。輸入電流IP從時間點t4到時間點t5的時間段內所提供的能量與輸出電流IS從時間點t3到時間點t4的時間段內所提供的能量有關。輸出電流IS提供的能量與輸出電流的IS大小以及從時間點t3到時間點t4的時長有關。具體來說,當輸出電流IS較强時,僅需要較短的時長。另一方面,當輸出電流IS較弱時,需要較長的時長。也就是說,為了提供足以將電壓VP降低到零的能量,時間點t3到時間點t4的時長與輸出電流IS的變化率呈負相關,其中變化率可反映在圖5中輸出電流IS的斜率。It should be noted that, in order to accurately reduce the voltage VP to zero, the energy provided by the input current IP in the time period from the time point t4 to the time point t5 must be accurate. The energy provided by the input current IP in the time period from the time point t4 to the time point t5 is related to the energy provided by the output current IS in the time period from the time point t3 to the time point t4. The energy provided by the output current IS is related to the size of IS of the output current and the duration from the time point t3 to the time point t4. Specifically, when the output current IS is strong, only a short time period is required. On the other hand, when the output current IS is weak, a longer time period is required. That is, in order to provide enough energy to reduce the voltage VP to zero, the time period from time point t3 to time point t4 is negatively correlated with the rate of change of the output current IS, which can be reflected in the change rate of the output current IS in FIG. 5 . slope.

然而,電壓VP不限於减小到零。在其它實施例中,電壓VP可以從時間點t4到時間點t5的時間段內降低到預定電壓。舉例來說,預定電壓可以是Vin+NVout的五分之一。預定電壓的大小取決於設計者的考量。However, the voltage VP is not limited to decreasing to zero. In other embodiments, the voltage VP may decrease to a predetermined voltage within a time period from the time point t4 to the time point t5. For example, the predetermined voltage may be one-fifth of Vin+NVout. The size of the predetermined voltage depends on the designer's consideration.

再次參考圖3,第一控制電路110還包括延遲電路230和第二導通時間控制電路240。延遲電路230用於通過延遲觸發訊號TG來產生延遲訊號DS。第二導通時間控制電路240用於當接收到延遲訊號DS時產生導通時間訊號OTS,其中導通時間訊號OTS根據反饋資訊FD來指示第一開關SW1的導通時間。具體地,由導通時間訊號OTS指示的第一開關SW1的導通時間與反饋資訊FD指示的檢測電阻Rd的跨壓呈負相關。也就是說,檢測電阻Rd的跨壓越大,第一開關SW1的導通時間越短。Referring again to FIG. 3 , the first control circuit 110 further includes a delay circuit 230 and a second on-time control circuit 240 . The delay circuit 230 is used for generating the delay signal DS by delaying the trigger signal TG. The second on-time control circuit 240 is configured to generate the on-time signal OTS when the delay signal DS is received, wherein the on-time signal OTS indicates the on-time of the first switch SW1 according to the feedback information FD. Specifically, the on-time of the first switch SW1 indicated by the on-time signal OTS is negatively correlated with the voltage across the detection resistor Rd indicated by the feedback information FD. That is to say, the greater the voltage across the detection resistor Rd, the shorter the on-time of the first switch SW1.

在本實施例中,通過將觸發訊號TG從時間點t3延遲到時間點t5來產生延遲訊號DS。當第二導通時間控制電路240在時間點t5接收到延遲訊號DS時,導通時間訊號OTS被輸出到第二控制電路120以指示第二控制電路120在時間點t5啟動第一開關SW1。In this embodiment, the delay signal DS is generated by delaying the trigger signal TG from the time point t3 to the time point t5. When the second on-time control circuit 240 receives the delay signal DS at time t5, the on-time signal OTS is output to the second control circuit 120 to instruct the second control circuit 120 to activate the first switch SW1 at time t5.

圖6是根據本發明一實施例之第二控制電路120的示意圖。第二控制電路120包括隔離傳輸電路250和接收電路260。隔離傳輸電路250用於通過將導通時間訊號OTS自變壓器11的第二側傳送到變壓器11的第一側來生成導通時間訊號OTS’。本技術領域具有通常知識者應當理解,經隔離傳輸裝置250傳送後,導通時間訊號OTS’與導通時間訊號OTS的大小可能不同。然而,導通時間訊號OTS中的資訊將會被完全傳輸。舉例來說,第一開關SW1的導通時間和斷開時間的指示將會被完全傳輸。在本實施例中,隔離傳輸電路250包括但不限於變壓器、光耦接器或電容。FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram of the second control circuit 120 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The second control circuit 120 includes an isolated transmission circuit 250 and a reception circuit 260 . The isolated transmission circuit 250 is used to generate the on-time signal OTS' by transmitting the on-time signal OTS from the second side of the transformer 11 to the first side of the transformer 11 . Those skilled in the art should understand that after being transmitted by the isolation transmission device 250, the on-time signal OTS' and the on-time signal OTS may have different magnitudes. However, the information in the on-time signal OTS will be fully transmitted. For example, an indication of the on-time and off-time of the first switch SW1 will be fully transmitted. In this embodiment, the isolated transmission circuit 250 includes, but is not limited to, a transformer, an optocoupler, or a capacitor.

接收電路260用於接收來自隔離傳輸電路250的導通時間訊號OTS’,並根據導通時間訊號OTS’產生啟用訊號VGP以啟用/停用第一開關SW1。具體地,接收電路260用於識別並解耦導通時間訊號OTS’中的資訊。例如,接收電路260可以根據導通時間訊號OTS’的上升沿和下降沿來分別識別第一開關SW1的導通時間和斷開時間。The receiving circuit 260 is configured to receive the on-time signal OTS' from the isolated transmission circuit 250, and generate an enabling signal VGP according to the on-time signal OTS' to enable/disable the first switch SW1. Specifically, the receiving circuit 260 is used to identify and decouple the information in the on-time signal OTS'. For example, the receiving circuit 260 may identify the on-time and the off-time of the first switch SW1 according to the rising edge and the falling edge of the on-time signal OTS', respectively.

在本實施例中,導通時間訊號OTS'指示第一開關SW1應在時間點t5處被啟用,且啟用的時長與從時間點t0到時間點t1的時長相同。因此,啟用訊號VGP指示第一開關SW1在時間點t5時被啟用,且啟用的時長與從時間點t0到時間點t1的時長相同。In this embodiment, the on-time signal OTS' indicates that the first switch SW1 should be enabled at the time point t5, and the enabled time period is the same as the time period from the time point t0 to the time point t1. Therefore, the enable signal VGP indicates that the first switch SW1 is enabled at the time point t5, and the enabled time period is the same as the time period from the time point t0 to the time point t1.

在返馳式轉換器10中,觸發電路210通過比較輸出電壓Vout與參考電壓VREF來產生觸發訊號TG。當觸發訊號TG指示輸出電壓Vout小於參考電壓VREF時,第一導通時間控制電路220產生啟用訊號VGS以啟用第二開關SW2。然而,這不是本申請的一限制。在其它實施例中,可以基於不同的機制來生成觸發訊號TG。In the flyback converter 10, the trigger circuit 210 generates the trigger signal TG by comparing the output voltage Vout with the reference voltage VREF. When the trigger signal TG indicates that the output voltage Vout is lower than the reference voltage VREF, the first on-time control circuit 220 generates the enable signal VGS to enable the second switch SW2. However, this is not a limitation of the present application. In other embodiments, the trigger signal TG may be generated based on different mechanisms.

舉例來說,觸發電路210可以包括電流檢測電路,其用於根據反饋資訊FD檢測輸出電流IS的大小來產生指示訊號ID。在如此設置下,脈衝產生電路212還用於當指示訊號ID指示輸出電流IS的大小减小至零時產生作為觸發訊號TG的脈衝訊號。For example, the trigger circuit 210 may include a current detection circuit for detecting the magnitude of the output current IS according to the feedback information FD to generate the indication signal ID. In this setting, the pulse generating circuit 212 is also used for generating a pulse signal as the trigger signal TG when the indication signal ID indicates that the magnitude of the output current IS decreases to zero.

在某些實施例中,當輸出電流IS的大小减小至零時,觸發電路210立即產生觸發訊號TG。舉例來說,當輸出電流IS在時間點t2時减小到零,具有脈衝波形的觸發訊號TG也在時間點t2產生。因此,在時間點t2時,啟用訊號VGS指示第二開關SW2斷開並立即重新導通。In some embodiments, when the magnitude of the output current IS decreases to zero, the trigger circuit 210 immediately generates the trigger signal TG. For example, when the output current IS decreases to zero at the time point t2, the trigger signal TG with the pulse waveform is also generated at the time point t2. Therefore, at the time point t2, the enable signal VGS instructs the second switch SW2 to turn off and immediately turn on again.

在某些實施例中,觸發電路210是在輸出電流IS的大小减小至零之後才產生觸發訊號TG。舉例來說,當輸出電流IS在時間點t2减小到零時,並不會立即產生觸發訊號TG。舉例來說,觸發訊號TG將在時間點t3時生成。因此,啟用訊號VGS指示第二開關SW2在時間點t2時斷開,並在時間點t3時導通。In some embodiments, the trigger circuit 210 generates the trigger signal TG after the magnitude of the output current IS decreases to zero. For example, when the output current IS decreases to zero at the time point t2, the trigger signal TG is not generated immediately. For example, the trigger signal TG will be generated at the time point t3. Therefore, the enable signal VGS indicates that the second switch SW2 is turned off at the time point t2 and turned on at the time point t3.

圖7是根據本申請一實施例之返馳式轉換器的控制方法900的流程圖。在本實施例中,控制方法900可應用於返馳式轉換器10。為了更好地理解,請同時參考圖5和圖7。倘若大體上能得到相同的結果,本申請並不要求完全依照圖7所示的步驟流程執行。控制方法900大致歸納如下。FIG. 7 is a flowchart of a control method 900 of a flyback converter according to an embodiment of the present application. In this embodiment, the control method 900 can be applied to the flyback converter 10 . For a better understanding, please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 7 together. As long as the same results can be generally obtained, the present application does not require that the steps shown in FIG. 7 be completely executed. The control method 900 can be roughly summarized as follows.

舉例來說,在時間點t3時啟用第二開關SW2,其中輸出電流IS在時間點t3時的電流方向與在時間點t2時的電流方向相反。For example, the second switch SW2 is enabled at the time point t3, wherein the current direction of the output current IS at the time point t3 is opposite to the current direction at the time point t2.

舉例來說,在時間點t4時停用第二開關SW2,且感應生成輸入電流IP於變壓器11的第一側。具體地,輸入電流通過輸入端IN自第一電容C1流向輸入電壓Vin。For example, at time t4, the second switch SW2 is disabled, and the input current IP is induced to the first side of the transformer 11 . Specifically, the input current flows from the first capacitor C1 to the input voltage Vin through the input terminal IN.

步驟905:在一第五時間點啟用耦接至該變壓器的一第一側的另一開關,且在該第五時間點時該輸入端上的電壓下降至零。Step 905: Enable another switch coupled to a first side of the transformer at a fifth time point, and the voltage on the input terminal drops to zero at the fifth time point.

舉例來說,在時間點t5時輸入端IN上的電壓VP下降至零,且啟用第一開關SW1。For example, at time point t5, the voltage VP on the input terminal IN drops to zero, and the first switch SW1 is enabled.
