An adaptive slope-compensation method is applied for a switch-mode power supply. The switch-mode power supply has a power switch, and an inductor coupled to an input power. The power switch controls the inductor storing energy or releasing energy to generate an output voltage. The adaptive slope-compensation method includes detecting an inductor current passing through the inductor and to generate an inductor-current detecting voltage, detecting a duty cycle of the power switch, detecting a voltage variation of the inductor-current detecting voltage when the power switch is turned on, generating a slope-compensation signal according to the voltage variation and the duty cycle, and adjusting the timing of turning the power switch on or off. In this way, even if the operation conditions of the input power and the output voltage change, the system still can quickly response and does not generate sub-harmonic oscillation.

A detecting device for detecting an operating mode is disclosed. The detecting device includes a pulse generator and a hold-up unit. The pulse generator is disposed for issuing a one-shot pulse signal in response to each of button signals respectively. The hold-up unit is disposed for receiving the button signals to respectively generate delayed button signals by way of clock delay determined by a clock signal. The one-shot pulse signal and the delayed button signals are used to determine an operating mode of a system.

A pulse width modulation (PWM) control circuit is applied to a power converter with a charging capacitor. The PWM control circuit includes a PWM signal generator, a first comparator, and a reference voltage modulator. A PWM signal generator generates a PWM signal to control a power switch in the power converter. Two input terminals of the first comparator respectively receive a first reference voltage and a sensing voltage, which is proportional to a primary-side current of a transformer. When the power switch is turned on and the sensing voltage rises to the level of the first reference voltage, the first comparator outputs a first control signal to the PWM signal generator. Then, the PWM signal generator outputs a signal to turn off the power switch. The reference voltage modulator outputs the first reference voltage according to a feedback voltage relative to the output voltage of the power converter.

A light emitting diode (LED) driving device includes a power factor correction (PFC) circuit, a bridge switch circuit, a resonant circuit, a transformer and a feedback circuit. The PFC circuit adjusts an output signal thereof based on a feedback signal. The bridge switch circuit transforms the output signal of the PFC circuit into a pulse signal. The resonant circuit resonates and outputs a sinusoidal signal to a primary-side of the transformer based on the pulse signal. The feedback circuit outputs the feedback signal to the PFC circuit in response to a primary-side current of the transformer. Therefore, an output current of the LED driving device is adjusted through modulating the feedback circuit.
