US Patent 11777404 Power supply device for suppressing magnetic saturation

A power supply device for suppressing magnetic saturation includes a bridge rectifier, a boost inductor, a power switch element, a first PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) IC (Integrated Circuit), a first output stage circuit, an input switch circuit, a transformer, a first capacitor, a second output stage circuit, and a detection and control circuit. A leakage inductor and a magnetizing inductor are built in the transformer. The detection and control circuit includes an NTC (Negative Temperature Coefficient) resistor disposed adjacent to the transformer. The detection and control circuit detects the first voltage slope relative to the power switch element, and it detects the second voltage slope relative to the first output stage circuit. The detection and control circuit limits the inductive current flowing through the magnetizing inductor according to the first voltage slope, the second voltage slope, and the feedback voltage from the NTC resistor.
