A method for controlling a power converter includes receiving an input signal through an input node and generating an intermediate signal using a capacitor, generating a control signal in response to the input signal and the intermediate signal, coupling or decoupling the input node and the capacitor in response to the control signal, and generating an output signal in response to the intermediate signal. A circuit for controlling a power converter includes an input node receiving an input signal, a first capacitor providing an intermediate signal, a detection circuit generating a control signal in response to the input signal and the intermediate signal, a switching device coupling the input node and the first capacitor in response to the control signal, and a regulator generating an output signal in response to the intermediate signal.

System and method for controlling switching device in power converter

An electronic device includes a first circuit having a first ground that receives first and second control signals. A third control signal is produced by a second circuit. The second circuit uses a second ground, and the first ground floats with respect to the second ground. The first circuit determines a value corresponding to a value of a third control signal using a difference between a value of the first control signal and a value of the second control signal, the value of a third control signal being a value relative to the second ground. The first circuit controls a value of an output signal of the first circuit according to the value corresponding to the value of a third control signal.
