Abstract
A control circuit for an isolated power supply is disclosed, the control circuit includes a secondary-side drive signal generator, a secondary-side transistor switch turn-off detector and a primary-side control signal generator. The primary-side control signal generator is configured to: determine a second turn-on instant referring to an turn-off instant of the secondary-side synchronous rectification transistor from the turn-off acknowledgement signal; determine a first turn-on instant referring to a supposed turn-on instant for the primary-side transistor switch from the feedback signal of the output voltage of the isolated power supply; and determine the turn-on instant for the primary-side transistor switch from the second turn-on instant or the first turn-on instant whichever is later, and responsively generate the primary-side transistor switch control signal. This control circuit can effectively avoid shoot-through of primary- and secondary-side transistor switches at the cost of only insignificantly compromised feedback adjustment accuracy.
