Abstract:
Systems and methods are provided for protecting a power conversion system. A system controller includes a first controller terminal and a second controller terminal. The first controller terminal is configured to provide a drive signal to close and open a switch to affect a first current flowing through a primary winding of a power conversion system. The second controller terminal is configured to receive first input signals during one or more first switching periods and receive second input signals during one or more second switching periods. The system controller is configured to determine whether a temperature associated with the power conversion system is larger than a predetermined temperature threshold, and in response to the temperature associated with the power conversion system being larger than the predetermined temperature threshold, generate the drive signal to cause the switch open and remain open to protect the power conversion system.

Claim (Index 46):
A system controller for protecting a power converter, the system controller comprising:\n a first controller terminal configured to receive a first input signal during a first switching period, receive a second input signal during a second switching period, and receive a third input signal during a third switching period; wherein:\n the first switching period precedes the second switching period; and \n the second switching period precedes the third switching period; \n wherein the system controller is configured to:\n in response to a temperature associated with a power converter being larger than a predetermined temperature threshold, generate a drive signal for a switch to open and remain open to protect the power converter; \n wherein the system controller is further configured to:\n in response to an output voltage associated with a secondary winding of the power converter being larger than a predetermined voltage threshold, generate the drive signal for the switch to open and remain open to protect the power converter; \n wherein the first controller terminal is further configured to:\n receive the first input signal during only a first part of the first switching period; \n receive the second input signal during only a second part of the second switching period; and \n receive the third input signal during only a third part of the third switching period; \n wherein:\n the first part is smaller in magnitude than the first switching period, the first part starting at a first start time of the first switching period and ending before a first end time of the first switching period; \n the second part is smaller in magnitude than the second switching period, the second part starting at a second start time of the second switching period and ending before a second end time of the second switching period; and \n the third part is smaller in magnitude than the third switching period, the third part starting at a third start time of the third switching period and ending before a third end time of the third switching period.
