Patent attributes
The provided switching power supply includes an auxiliary circuit having an auxiliary switch and a auxiliary capacitor, a transformer having a primary side coupled to the auxiliary circuit in parallel and a secondary side, an auxiliary switch control circuit coupled to the auxiliary switch and the primary side and fixing a turn-on time of the auxiliary switch, a main switch coupled to the primary side, a ZVS detector coupled to the main switch, a first and a second rectifying switches coupled to the secondary side and a filter circuit coupled to the second rectifying switch in parallel. The provided method includes the steps of: (a) fixing the turn-on time of the auxiliary switch; and (b) generating a fixed turn-off time of the main switch accordingly so as to accomplish ZVS of the main switch.
