Abstract
A PWM controller having an oscillator, a control circuit and a two-level limiter is provided. The oscillator generates a pulse signal. The control circuit couples to the oscillator for generating a PWM signal in response to the pulse signal, wherein the PWM signal controls a power switch. The two-level limiter couples to the control circuit for generating a two-level limit signal in response to an on-time of the PWM signal, wherein the two-level limit signal is formed by a first-level signal and a second-level signal during a switching period of the PWM signal, and the first-level signal is used to limit the maximum output power of the power converter under a high-line input voltage with a heavy-load condition, and the second-level signal is used to limit the maximum output power of the power converter under a low-line input voltage with the heavy-load condition.
