A power conversion apparatus and a protection method of the power conversion apparatus while a feedback current signal of the power conversion apparatus is abnormal are provided. The protection method includes a step of stopping switching a power switch if a duty cycle of a pulse width modulation signal is continuously greater than a preset duty cycle for at least one signal cycle and a voltage of a current sensing signal is smaller than a preset voltage level during the at least one signal cycle.

Power conversion apparatus and protection method thereof while feedback current signal being abnormal

A power detection apparatus is provided. The power detection apparatus includes a first current processing circuit and a second current processing circuit. The first current processing circuit is configured to provide a dynamic bias voltage at a bias terminal in response to a variation of a system power. The second current processing circuit is coupled to the first current processing circuit and is biased under the dynamic bias voltage for outputting a power good signal at an output terminal to represent that the system power is ready when the dynamic bias voltage is greater than a threshold voltage.

Ultra low startup current power detection apparatus

An AC/DC converting circuit and a starting method thereof are provided. An AC detection or a rectified AC voltage detection is disabled when the AC voltage or the rectified AC voltage not up to a start-up voltage is detected, so as to shorten a recovery time of a voltage of a power supply terminal of an AC/DC power conversion controller, and further shorten a starting time of the AC/DC converting circuit.

AC/DC converting circuit

A flyback-based power conversion apparatus and a power conversion method thereof are provided. By switching first and second detection switches disposed in a control chip and coupled to a multi-function pin of the control chip at different timings, the present invention applies a collocation of a voltage-current detection auxiliary circuit and a current detection circuit at a certain timing to execute a detection of the AC input voltage received by a flyback power conversion circuit, and the present invention applies a collocation of the auxiliary voltage-current detection circuit, an over temperature protection unit and an over voltage protection unit at another timing to execute detections of an over temperature protection and an over voltage protection. As the result, a single multi-function detection pin of the control pin is corresponding to a plurality of related function detections, so as to reduce the production cost of manufacturing the control chip.
