Abstract

See full text

A circuit for decreasing the minimum duty ratio of a switching element in a power converter in response to a signal indicating that sensed current exceeds a second threshold. The circuit turns off the switching element when the sensed current exceeds a first threshold. The minimum duty ratio may be decreased, for example by increasing the period of the switching element or by increasing the 'off' time of the switching element. The circuit protects against current runaway.
