Abstract

A control method is disclosed for an asymmetric half-bridge power supply having a resonant circuit, a first switch, a second switch, and an assisting switch. The resonant circuit includes a transformer and a resonance capacitor. The transformer has a primary winding connected to the resonance capacitor and an auxiliary winding connected to the assisting switch. Within a switching cycle, the first switch is turned on for a first ON time to increase an exciting current of the transformer. After the first ON time, the second switch is turned on for a second ON time to decrease the exciting current. Whether a discharge duration of the transformer ends is detected. The assisting switch is turned ON after the end of the discharge duration, making the exciting current negative, so as to assist the first switch achieving ZVS.
