摘要
A secondary controlled AC-DC converter including an oscillator in a primary-side controller (PSC), and method for operating the same to enable soft-start and low frequency operation are provided. Generally, the method includes driving a power switch coupled between an AC input and a primary-side of the converter with a gate-drive (GD-signal). At startup and following auto-restart the GD-signal is generated using an oscillator-signal from the oscillator. After receiving start-stop pulses from a secondary-side controller, the oscillator-signal is decoupled from the GD-signal using a controller in the PSC, and the PSC begins generating the GD-signal using pulse-width-modulated (PWM) generated using the start-stop pulses. The oscillator operates at a first frequency independent of the PWM signal. The PWM signal includes one of a number of frequencies selected based on a power drawn from the converter, and, in low power applications can be less than the first frequency.
