Abstract

Systems and methods are provided for regulating a power conversion system. An example system controller includes a first controller terminal and a second controller terminal. The first controller terminal is configured to receive a first signal associated with an input signal for a primary winding of a power conversation system. The second controller terminal is configured to output a drive signal to a switch to affect a first current flowing through the primary winding of the power conversion system, the drive signal being associated with an on-time period, the switch being closed during the on-time period. The system controller is configured to adjust a duration of the on-time period based on at least information associated with the first signal.

Claims (23)

1. A system controller for regulating a power conversion system, the system controller comprising:

a first controller terminal configured to receive a first signal associated with an input signal for a primary winding of a power conversation system; and

a second controller terminal configured to output a drive signal to a switch to affect a first current flowing through the primary winding of the power conversion system, the drive signal being associated with an on-time period, the switch being closed during the on-time period;

wherein the system controller is configured to adjust a duration of the on-time period based on at least information associated with the first signal.

2. The system controller of claim 1 wherein the input signal corresponds to an input voltage.

3. The system controller of claim 1 , further comprising a first conversion component configured to generate a second current based on at least information associated with the first signal.

4. The system controller of claim 1 , further comprising:

a demagnetization detector configured to receive a feedback signal associated with an output signal of the power conversion system and generates a trigger signal based on at least information associated with the feedback signal; and

a logic controller configured to receive the trigger signal and output a second signal based on at least information associated with the trigger signal to affect the drive signal.

5. The system controller of claim 1 wherein:

the first controller terminal is coupled to a first resistor terminal of a first resistor;

a second resistor terminal of the first resistor is configured to receive the input signal; and

the first resistor terminal of the first resistor is configured to provide the first signal.

6. The system controller of claim 1 wherein the first signal corresponds to a feedback current related to a first voltage associated with an auxiliary winding of the power conversion system.

7. The system controller of claim 1 wherein:

the first controller terminal is a first pin; and

the second controller terminal is a second pin.

8. The system controller of claim 1 wherein the system controller operates in a voltage mode.

9. The system controller of claim 1 wherein the power conversion system operates in a quasi-resonant mode.

10. A method for regulating a power conversion system, the method comprising:

receiving a first signal from a first controller terminal, the first signal being associated with an input signal for a primary winding of a power conversation system;

adjusting a duration of an on-time period related to a drive signal based on at least information associated with the first signal; and

outputting the drive signal from a second controller terminal to a switch to affect a first current flowing through the primary winding of the power conversion system, the switch being closed during the on-time period.
