Abstract
A flyback power converter includes: a first transistor switching a transformer for generating a primary switching current and an output voltage; and a second transistor generating a circulated current to achieve ZVS (zero voltage switching) of the first transistor; wherein the flyback power converter actively forces at least one switching cycle to be operated in a DCM (discontinuous conduction mode) operation when the primary switching current is determined to have been operating in a non-DCM operation for a predetermined number of switching cycles. The flyback power converter generates a demagnetized signal which emulates the demagnetized time of the transformer for controlling the second transistor during the non-DCM operation. The flyback power converter calibrates the demagnetized signal according to the demagnetized time during the actively fored DCM operation.
