Abstract
A secondary-side-controller for a QR flyback converter and method for operating the same are provided. Generally, the secondary-side-controller includes a driver configured to control a power-switch (PS) on a primary side of converter to turn on the PS when a sinusoidal input voltage to the converter is at one of a plurality of valleys, an analog-to-digital-converter (ADC) to read the input voltage, output voltage, and load current, and generate digital signals based thereon. A valley-controller coupled to the driver, ADC, a look-up-table and a pulse width modulator (PWM) receives the signals from the ADC and using the look-up-table determines at which valley of the plurality of valleys to couple a PWM signal from the PWM to the driver. The valley-controller is operable for each switching cycle of the PS to increment, decrement or leave unchanged the valley at which the PWM signal is coupled from the PWM to the driver.
