Patent attributes
A switching mode power supply includes a power supply circuit, a feedback circuit, and a switching controller. The power supply circuit includes a main switch coupled to a primary coil of a transformer, and supplies power to a secondary coil of the transformer according to an operation of the main switch. The feedback circuit generates a feedback voltage corresponding to an output voltage provided to the secondary coil of the transformer. The switching controller controls the main switch to turn off according to a sense voltage corresponding to the current flowed by the main switch. In this instance, the switching controller quickly senses the output short phenomenon by using the duty ratio of the main switch and the feedback voltage and shuts down the main switch to protect the circuit.
