An Electro-Magnetic Interference Filter, EMIF, is connected to AC source, the IC 1  is an APFC IC, and pin  1 , P, is a voltage feedback. The rating of the feedback voltage is different by different IC. For example, the feedback voltage of TDA4862 is 2.5V. When the output voltage, DC V, is fixed, the rating of RA is decreased, the voltage of P is increased, and thus the DC V is decreased. To approach the purpose, a RB and a Photo Coupler Ph 1  is applied in this embodiment. RB and output part of Ph 1  is connected in serial and paralleled to RA. When switch S 1  is switched to  1 , the LED part of Ph 1  is most lit when the Vin is a high voltage, therefore; the equipotent resistance of RA and RB is lowest, and the voltage of DC V is lowest. Conversely when the Vin is a low voltage, the voltage of Vin is highest. The Vin and DC V is an inverse ratio. When S 1  is switched to  2 , the LED part of Ph 2  is most lit when the Vin is a high voltage, therefore; the equipotent resistance of RC and RD is lowest, and the voltage of DC V is highest.

The purpose of the circuit is to give a stable voltage output to DC output of the second secondary of high frequency transformer  300 . When the V 1  is low, the LED part of IC 6  is not lit, the MOSFET M 3  is on, and a setting voltage can be measured at V 1 . If the V 1  is greater than setting, the M 3  is off, and the V 1  is lower, therefore; V 1  is a very stable voltage output. IC 3  is a Programmable Precision References IC.

The voltages of positive input of IC  8  come from DC voltage and External Control Voltage, EV. The negative input of the IC  9  is a DC voltage; the positive input of IC  9  is sawtooth wave; therefore, a pulse is generated at the output of IC 9 , Q, and the frequency of it is controlled by VR 4 . The output of the IC 9 , Q, is connected to input part of Ph 7  and Ph 8 ; the output part of Ph 7  and Ph 8  is connected to Gates of M 1  and M 2 . When the negative input of the IC 9  is large, the pulse width is narrow; therefore, the output of the high frequency transformer  300  is enlarged. Contrariwise, the output of the high frequency transformer  300  is lessened. To approach the luminance brightness control or CCFL or EEFL Lamps group, the same function IC can be applied to replace this circuit and not limited.

When the positive input voltage is greater than negative input voltage, a positive is sent to the LED part of the photo coupler Ph 6 , the MOSFET M 3  is off. V 1  is low down to setting voltage. When the positive input voltage is smaller than negative input voltage, the LED part of the photo coupler Ph 6  is off, the MOSFET M 3  is on. V 1  gains to setting voltage. The on/off cycles keep the V 1  in stable setting output. A negative logic can be applied on this embodiment and not limited.  
         [0033]     As shown in  FIG. 15  (A), is an embodiment of DC Power Source circuit. The photo coupler Ph 6  is replaced by a PNP transistor T 2  in  FIG. 5  of DC Power Source  700 . When the source voltage of the MOSFET M 3  is higher than the setting voltage, V 1 , the IC 3  is on, T 2  is on, the gate voltage of M 3  is low, M 3  is off; the source voltage of the M 3  is low to V 1 . When the source voltage of M 3  is lower than V 1 , T 2  is off, M 3  is on; the source voltage of M 3  is high to V 1 . Due to the above movement, the V 1  is a stable output. As shown in  FIG. 15  (B), is an embodiment of DC Power Source circuit. The photo coupler Ph 6  is replaced by a NPN transistor T 3  in  FIG. 14  of DC Power Source  700 . The coupling way is a direct coupling which is different from photo coupling of  FIG. 14 . As shown in  FIG. 5 (C), is an embodiment of DC Power Source circuit. When the source voltage of M 3  is higher than setting voltage V 1 , the voltage between RE and R 1  is higher than Zener voltage of ZD 5  and the base-emitter voltage of T 4 , the T 4  is on, M 3  is off. When the source voltage of M 3  is lower than setting voltage V 1 , the M 3  is on. Due to the above movement, the V 1  is a stable output.

M 4  and M 5  have the characteristic of unidirectional; therefore, the circuit has rectifier function. When the junction B gets a rectified voltage, the V 2  gets a DC voltage after flows through a π filter circuit composed by C 3 , L 1 , and C 4 . The center junction of RE and R 1  is connected to Reference of the Programmable Precision References IC, IC 3 , the other two junctions are connected to V 2 . When the V 2  is greater than setting voltage, the IC 3  is on, both M 4  and M 5  is off, the rectifying stops, the V 2  is lower. When V 2  goes low enough to turn the IC 3  off, the M 4  and M 5  execute the rectifying function again, the V 2  voltage is greater than it was. The M 4  and M 5  have the function of rectifying and regulation. The voltage of B junction could be higher than  8  and  10  connection of high frequency transformer  300  any time, to avoid this; a Protect opposite current detection circuit is applied in this invention. When the positive input of IC 11  is greater than the negative one, the LED part of Ph 12  is lit, the output of Ph 12  is on, the power source is cut off, the emitter of the T 4  is a zero voltage output, M 4  and M 5  cut off; therefore, no reversing voltage occurs on high frequency transformer  300 . The D 3  and D 4  are diodes; they are set to give the instant voltage comes from connection  8  and  10  to the negative input of IC 11 . RL and RM are for setting voltage of positive input of IC 11 . The RN and RP are for setting voltage of negative input of IC 11 .

If the voltage is greater than voltage of junction B, the LED part of Ph 9  is lit, the output of the Ph 9  is on, the positive voltage comes from connection  11  and  12  is on RH, M 4  is on, the positive half wave voltage goes through M 4  to the π filter composed by C 3 , L 1 , and C 4 ; then it becomes to output voltage V 2 . When the positive half wave occurs on connection  10  of high frequency transformer  300 , the execution is the same as the above. Both positive half wave of  8  and  10  are connected to junction B, thus is a full-wave rectifier. IC 3 , Programmable Precision References IC, is on, the output of the Ph 6  is on, the gates of M 4  and M 5  is shorten, the V 2  is lower than it was; when V 2  drops until the IC 3  is off, the M 4  and M 5  executes rectifying, the V 2  is higher than it was. Instead of the Protect opposite current detection circuit, DZ 7  and DZ 8  can be removed out of the circuit. The M 4  and M 5  has characteristic of bidirectional; therefore, the Drain and source can be switch from each other and not limited, the gate circuit stays the same.  
         [0035]     As shown in  FIG. 16 (C), is an embodiment of DC Power Source circuit with self starting function. When the positive half wave occurs on connection  8  of high frequency transformer  300 , the sum of Zener voltage of DZ 7 , the forward bias voltage of D 1 , and the base voltage of T 5  has to be greater than voltage of junction B; then the circuit has the function of protect opposite current. If the voltage is greater than voltage of junction B, T 5  is on, the positive voltage comes from connection  11  and  12  is on RH, M 4  is on, the positive half wave voltage goes through M 4  to the π filter composed by C 3 , L 1 , and C 4 ; then it becomes to output voltage V 2 . When the positive half wave occurs on connection  10  of high frequency transformer  300 , the execution is the same as the above. Both positive half wave of  8  and  10  are connected to junction B, thus is a full-wave rectifier. IC 3 , Programmable Precision References IC, is on, the output of the Ph 6  is on, the gates of M 4  and M 5  is shorten, the V 2  is lower than it was; when V 2  drops until the IC 3  is off, the M 4  and M 5  executes rectifying, the V 2  is higher than it was. The Power MOSFETs M 4  and M 5  have the function of rectifying and regulation. The sources of the MOSFETs are connected to the AC terminal in this circuit.

The Ph 6  in  FIG. 16  (C) is replaced with Zener Diode ZD 5  and the PNP transistor T 4 . When the V 2  is greater than the setting voltage, the IC 3 , Programmable Precision References IC works, the base of T 4  is low voltage, the T 4  is off, the gates of M 4  and M 5  are grounded; M 4  and M 5  stop rectifying, the V 2  is dropped. When V 2  is dropped to turn the IC  3  off, the M 4  and M 5  start rectifying; V 2  rises. The Power MOSFETs M 4  and M 5  have the function of rectifying and regulation.
