Abstract:
An exemplary embodiment of an alternating valley switching controller is provided. The alternating valley switching controller includes a valley detection circuit and an alternating circuit. The valley detection circuit is coupled to an auxiliary winding of a transformer to generate a valley-detection signal. The alternating circuit alternates a plurality of switching periods of a switching signal according to a blanking-window signal and the valley-detection signal. The blanking-window signal switches between a first voltage level and a second voltage level in the plurality of switching periods. The plurality of switching periods includes at least two first periods and at least two second periods which occur alternately in response to the first voltage level and the second voltage of the blanking-window signal.

Claim (Index 24):
A method for forming a control circuit for a power converter comprising:\n configuring the control circuit to form a switching signal to control a current through a transformer and regulate an output voltage; configuring the control circuit to detect oscillations of a transformer signal during one or more periods of the switching signal and to form a sequence of two immediately subsequent switching periods wherein one switching period is terminated in response to detecting a first number of valleys of the oscillation during the one switching period and to terminate the immediately subsequent switching period in response to a second number of valleys that is either one less than or one greater than the first number.
