CONTROL CIRCUIT FOR REDUCING TOUCH CURRENT OF A POWER CONVERTER AND OPERATION METHOD THEREOF

摘要

A control circuit for reducing touch current of a power converter includes an auxiliary pin, a zero-crossing signal generator, a frequency limiting signal generator, and a gate signal generator. The auxiliary pin is used for receiving a voltage generated by an auxiliary winding of the power converter. The zero-crossing signal generator is used for generating a zero-crossing signal according to the voltage generated by the auxiliary winding and a first reference voltage. The frequency limiting signal generator is used for generating a frequency limiting signal according to a gate control signal, a burst mode signal, and the voltage generated by the auxiliary winding. The frequency limiting signal is used for limiting the gate control signal to a predetermined frequency. The gate signal generator is used for generating the gate control signal to a power switch of the power converter according to the frequency limiting signal and the zero-crossing signal.
