A saturation prevention circuit includes a first controlled current source, a second controlled current source, an integrating capacitor, and a comparator. The first controlled current source generates a first current that is proportional to an input voltage that is to be applied to a winding of a transformer. The second controlled current source generates a second current that is proportional to a reset voltage that is to be applied to the winding. The capacitor is charged with the first current while the input voltage is applied to the winding of the transformer and discharged with the second current while the reset voltage is applied to the winding. The comparator compares a voltage on the integrating capacitor with a first threshold and generates a first signal to immediately turn off the switch when the voltage on the integrating capacitor reaches the first threshold to limit a magnetic flux in the transformer. |
