Abstract
This disclosure relates to a switching power supply with regulated voltage suppression to reduce transformer audio noise. The switching power supply is operable to be fed a zero crossing voltage and to generate an output voltage. The output voltage may have a voltage level set using a modulated gate signal. A circuit is provided to reduce audio noise in a switching power supply by setting a ringing suppression time of the modulated gate signal to a first time period when the zero crossing voltage is below a predetermined voltage threshold and to a second time when the zero crossing voltage is above the predetermined threshold voltage.
