Abstract

A regulation circuit with the output cable compensation is developed for a power converter. It includes an error amplifier for generating a feedback signal in accordance with an output of the power converter. A compensation circuit is coupled to a transformer of the power converter for generating a compensation signal in response to a transformer signal generated by the transformer. The feedback signal is applied to generate a switching signal for switching the transformer and regulating the output of the power converter. The compensation signal is coupled to modulate the feedback signal for compensating a voltage drop of the output cable of the power converter.
