Abstract
The disclosure provides a power controller and related control method for a switch mode power supply operating in a quasi-resonant mode. The switched mode power supply has a power switch and an auxiliary winding. The power controller has a feedback pin connected to the auxiliary winding. A clamp circuit is connected to the feedback pin and configured for clamping a voltage at the feedback pin by providing a clamp current. A peak hold circuit is connected to the clamp circuit for generating a peak record substantially corresponding to a peak value of the clamp current. A valley detector is configured for providing an entry signal indicating a start of a voltage valley. A delay circuit provides a trigger signal a delay time after the entry signal is provided. The delay time varies in response to the peak record, and the trigger signal is capable of turning on the power switch.
