Abstract
The present invention provides a DC/DC converter for use with a DC input signal. The DC/DC converter includes a control signal generator, a primary and a secondary side, a voltage generating portion, a threshold voltage providing portion and a feedback signal generator. The control signal generator can control the primary side and the secondary side. The voltage generating portion can generate a surge voltage based a control signal from the control signal generator. The threshold voltage providing portion can generate a threshold voltage. The feedback signal generator can generate a feedback signal based on the surge voltage and the threshold voltage. The control signal generator can further modify control of one of the primary and secondary sides based on the feedback signal.
