Abstract:
1. A control circuit for configuring a power converting circuit, wherein the power converting circuit comprises a transformer and a current switch; a primary side of the transformer is configured to operably couple with an input voltage and the current switch; a secondary side of the transformer is configured to operably couple with a load; and the current switch is configured to operably couple with the transformer and a predetermined voltage level, wherein the control circuit comprising: an input voltage pin configured to operably receive the input voltage; a multifunctional pin configured to operably couple with an auxiliary winding side of the transformer; a pulse-width-modulation (PWM) signal generating circuit configured to operably configure a conduction status of the current switch; a low voltage lockdown circuit coupled with the input voltage pin and the PWM signal generating circuit; a voltage detecting circuit coupled with the multifunctional pin and the PWM signal generating circuit; and a zero current detecting circuit coupled with the multifunctional pin and the PWM signal generating circuit; wherein when a magnitude of an input signal detected by the low voltage lockdown circuit on the input voltage pin is greater than a magnitude of a first predetermined value, the PWM signal generating circuit configures the current switch to be not conducted; wherein in a first period of time, when the magnitude of the input signal detected by the low voltage lockdown circuit on the input voltage pin is greater than the magnitude of the first predetermined value, the low voltage lockdown circuit configures the PWM signal generating circuit to configure the current switch to be conducted for a predetermined period of time; and when an auxiliary winding signal detected by the voltage detecting circuit on the multifunctional pin is greater than a second predetermined value, the voltage detecting circuit configures the PWM signal generating circuit to configure the current switch to be intermittently conducted in a second period of time; wherein in the second period of time, when the PWM signal generating circuit configures the current switch to be not conducted, the zero current detecting circuit configures the PWM signal generating circuit to configure the current switch to be conducted when a conduction current of the transformer is less than a predetermined threshold according to the auxiliary winding signal; wherein in the second period of time, when the auxiliary winding signal detected by the voltage detecting circuit on the multifunctional pin is less than a third predetermined value, the voltage detecting circuit configures the PWM signal generating circuit to configure the current switch to be not conducted in a third period of time.
