<p>A load-sensing d.c.-to-d.c. converter has a transformer (2) with a primary winding (15) connected between a pair of d.c. input terminals (1a and 1b) via an on-off switch (3), and a secondary winding (16) connected between a pair of d.c. output terminals (20a and 20b) via a rectifying and smoothing circuit (5). A switch control circuit (7, 7a, 7b, 7c, 7d or 7e) drives the switch (3) in two different modes depending upon whether the converter is under normal or light load, for reduction of switching loss under light load. In order to accurately ascertain the actual power consumption of the load (20), a flyback period determination circuit (11) is connected to a tertiary winding (17) of the transformer (2) for providing a flyback period signal (Vf) indicative of a flyback period (Tf) during which a flyback voltage exists across the transformer tertiary after the switch (3) is turned off each time. Each flyback period is compared with two different reference periods of time (TA and TB) for hysteretic determination of whether the converter is under normal or light load. Several other embodiments are disclosed. <IMAGE></p> |
