An AC-to-DC power supply apparatus and a power control structure and method thereof are provided. The provided method includes: making an AC-to-DC converter in the AC-to-DC power supply apparatus convert an AC input voltage in response to a driving signal, so as to generate a DC output voltage; sampling a rectified voltage relating to the AC input voltage, so as to provide a sampling signal; providing an output feedback signal relating to an output of the AC-to-DC converter; multiplying the sampling signal by the output feedback signal, so as to provide a product signal; performing a signal modulation on the product signal, so as to generate the driving signal to control a switching of a main power switch in the AC-to-DC converter; and performing an amplitude-limiting process on the sampling signal or the product signal.

A method and apparatus used for electric isolation transmission are provided. The method includes: providing an isolation transmission circuit having at least one capacitor; and implementing electric isolation between the primary side and secondary side, and suppressing leakage currents generated between the primary side and secondary side and transmitting power. The apparatus includes the isolation transmission circuit that is manufactured by capacitor(s). The apparatus can be applied to light-weight power sources providing AC/DC outputs with high efficiency, adapters, or related products. In addition, the apparatus has a reduced size and higher power transmission efficiency.

A resonant power conversion apparatus including a transformer-based resonant converter and first and second switch control units is provided. The transformer-based resonant converter includes a primary switch circuit and a secondary output circuit configured to provide an output voltage to a load. The first switch control unit is configured to control an ON/OFF operation of the primary switch circuit in response to a status of the load. The second switch control unit is configured to determine whether to activate or inactivate the first switch control unit. When the status of the load is the light-loading or the no-loading, the first switch control unit intermittently controls the ON/OFF operation of the primary switch circuit, and meanwhile, the first switch control unit is inactivated during the primary switch circuit is disabled, so as to substantially reduce the light-loading or no-loading loss of the resonant power conversion apparatus.

An isolated gate driver including a driving control circuit, an isolated transformer, an anti-circuit and a secondary processing circuit is provided. The driving control circuit is configured to generate a driving PWM signal for driving a power switch tube. The isolated transformer has a primary winding and a secondary winding. The anti-circuit is connected between the driving control circuit and the primary winding of the isolated transformer, and is configured to suppress a variation of an induced voltage in the secondary winding of the isolated transformer when a duty cycle of the driving PWM signal is sharply decreased. The secondary processing circuit is connected in parallel with the secondary winding of the isolated transformer, and is configured to perform a voltage clamping action on a gate-source voltage of the power switch tube when the duty cycle of the driving PWM signal is sharply decreased.

A bootstrap gate driver including a load indication unit, a bootstrap gate-drive unit and a drive-control unit is provided. The load indication unit is configured to generate a load indication signal in response to a state of a load. The bootstrap gate-drive unit is configured to drive a switch-transistor circuit in response to an inputted pulse-width-modulation (PWM) signal, wherein the switch-transistor circuit has a high-side driving path and a low-side driving path. The drive-control unit is coupled to the load indication unit and the bootstrap gate-drive unit, and configured to enable or disable the high-side driving path in response to the load indication signal. In the invention, the operation of the low-side driving path is not affected by enabling or disabling the high-side driving path.

A direct current (DC)-to-DC conversion apparatus is provided. The provided DC-to-DC conversion apparatus is composed of two boost circuits, in which inputs of both boost circuits are connected in parallel, and outputs of both boost circuits are connected in series. Accordingly, when the provided DC-to-DC conversion apparatus is operated, the DC input power would be firstly sampled and determined, and then the operations of the first and the second switch devices disposed therein would be controlled in response to the sampled-determined result, such that both boost circuits would be respectively operated in different input conditions, for example, the input is normally-connected or the input is reverse-connected. Accordingly, regardless of the input of normal connection or the input of reverse connection, the provided DC-to-DC conversion apparatus can perform the function of DC-to-DC conversion, thereby enabling the applied product to be normally operated even the input is reverse-connected.
