Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention relates to a power supply for controlling current that uses a flyback converter for electrical insulation between a load line unit and the power supply for controlling current. In a transformer (a flyback converter) having a flyback structure in the present invention, disclosed is a device which expects a current of the second coil by sensing a current of the first coil of the transformer, and controls the current flowing through the load line unit. A level detector is included, which updates a duty time or an on-time of the switch by transferring a reset signal to an integrator and a second sampler in accordance with a cycle of an input power. As a result, it is possible to reduce power loss by increasing a power factor through the adjustment of the phase of the current of the load line unit and an input voltage.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A power supply for controlling current, the power supply comprising: a transformer which converts a first current into a second current and supplies the second current to a load line unit; a sampler which samples a peak value of the first current; an integrator which uses a signal proportional to the peak value of the first current and outputs a signal proportional to an average value of a current flowing through the load line unit; and a switching con…
