Abstract

A power adapter with voltage-stabilized compensation includes a pulse frequency modulation circuit to generate a driving pulse which has a variable OFF time interval to control power transformed and output by a transformer. The power adapter also has an ancillary coil to induce a feedback signal on the secondary coil of the transformer. The pulse frequency modulation circuit includes a time interval modulation unit to receive the feedback signal and a feedback compensation unit. The time interval modulation unit sets a level voltage compared with the feedback signal to generate a sample signal to modulate the OFF time interval. The feedback compensation unit provides a compensation signal to the time interval modulation unit to change the size of the feedback signal or sample signal thereby to compensate the voltage output from the secondary side.

Claims (11)
