Abstract
A control circuit of a power converter for light-load power saving according to the present invention comprises a first feedback circuit coupled to an output voltage of the power converter to receive a first feedback signal. A second feedback circuit is coupled to the output voltage to receive a second feedback signal. A control circuit generates a switching signal for switching a transformer of the power converter and regulating the output voltage of the power converter in response to the first feedback signal and the second feedback signal. The switching signal is generated in accordance with the first feedback signal when an output load is high. The switching signal is generated in accordance with the second feedback signal during a light-load condition.
