Patent attributes
A DC converter includes a time difference detector to detect a time difference between a point around which a main switch provides a minimum voltage after an auxiliary switch turns off and a point at which the main switch turns on, an integrator to integrate the output of the time difference detector, and a first delay circuit to control a turn-on point of the main switch according to the output of the integrator and the output of the time difference detector. The first delay circuit operates to minimize the output of the time difference detector according to the output of the integrator and controls a turn-on point of the main switch in a pulse-by-pulse manner according to a pulse-by-pulse control signal based on the output of the time difference detector.
