Abstract

An isolated flyback converter for an LED driver may include: (1) A snubber circuit configured to be connected to the primary side of a transformer. (2) A switching unit configured to have a source terminal and a drain terminal and configured to be turned on or off. (3) A control unit configured to detect a first input signal proportional to a fluctuation in the power supply voltage, detect a second input signal when the switching unit is turned off, generate a signal inversely proportional to the maximum value of the first input signal and multiply the generated signal to the second input signal, and control a peak current of the switching unit to be proportional to the multiplication result of the signal inversely proportional to the maximum value of the first input signal and the second input signal such that a secondary-side current of the transformer is maintained constant.
