Abstract
A controller with power saving for a power converter includes a delay circuit, a detection circuit, an output circuit, a counter circuit, a wake-up circuit and a PWM circuit. The delay circuit determines a delay time. The detection circuit activates the delay circuit whenever an output load of the power converter is lower than a light-load threshold. The output circuit generates a power-saving signal to cease a regulation of the power converter after the delay time ends. The regulation of the power converter is resumed once the output load increases during the regulation of the power converter is being ceased. The counter circuit coupled to the delay circuit is counted by the delay circuit to determine a sleep period. The output circuit generates the power-saving signal to cease the regulation of the power converter after the sleep period ends.
