Abstract

A switching type power supply is described which employs pulse width and rate modulation. Enhanced control range is achieved by controlling a frequency determining circuit to increase operating frequency as a function of power switch pulse width. The power switch controls the switching of primary current in a transformer whose secondary supplies the output via a rectifier/filter circuit.
