Abstract:
A flyback converter control architecture is provided in which primary-only feedback techniques are used to ensure smooth startup and detection of fault conditions. During steady-state operation, secondary-side regulation is employed. In addition, current limits are monitored during steady-state operation using primary-only feedback techniques to obviate the need for a secondary-side current sense resistor.

Claim (Index 16):
A primary-side controller for a flyback converter, comprising:\n a communication interface for receiving a control voltage from a secondary-side controller for the flyback converter during steady-state operation; a switch controller configured to cycle a power switch during the steady-state operation responsive to the control voltage; and a waveform analyzer configured to sense an output voltage during a startup of the flyback converter, wherein the switch controller is further configured to cycle the power switch during the startup of the flyback converter responsive to the sensed output voltage.
