Abstract

See full text

A primary-side sampled feedback system includes a sample acquisition phase during which the voltage across the clamp capacitor is sensed as a measure of the primary-reflect output voltage. One end of the clamp capacitor is ground-referenced during the sample acquisition phase. The sample circuitry, which may include a transformer-coupled input for receiving the gate drive of the secondary switch, may use primary side, secondary-side, or primary and secondary side signals to generate the sample acquisition control pulse and clamp switch drive signal. The sample acquisition control pulse occurs when the secondary current reaches its minimum or zero.
