Abstract

See full text

A control arrangement is disclosed for a switch mode power supply (SMPS), the SMPS comprising an opto-coupler configured to transfer, from a secondary side to a primary side of the switch mode power supply by means of an LED current, a control signal indicative of an error between an amplifier-reference-signal and an amplifier-sensed-signal indicative of an actual value of an output parameter, the control arrangement comprising: an error amplifier configured to integrate the error to determine the LED current; and a feedback loop configured to adjust the magnitude of the LED current by modifying the amplifier-reference-signal or the amplifier-sensed-signal in order to reduce the error. A SMPS comprising such a control arrangement, and a corresponding method is also disclosed.
