Abstract:
1. A controller for controlling a power switch of a power supply providing an output voltage, the controller comprising: a multi-function terminal; a delay time generator for providing a delay time after the power switch is turned off; an over voltage detection circuit for comparing a voltage of the multi-function terminal with a reference voltage after the delay time in order to trigger an over voltage signal indicating the output voltage is over a predetermined value; and a gate controller for turning off the power switch according to the voltage of the multi-function terminal when the power switch is turned on; wherein when the power switch is turned on, the voltage of the multi-function terminal corresponds to a current through the power switch; wherein the over voltage detection circuit comprises: a comparator for comparing the voltage of the multi-function terminal with the reference voltage to trigger a relay signal; and a blocking unit for blocking the relay signal during the delay time and for taking the relay signal as the over voltage signal in a predetermined time after the delay time.
