Switch mode power supply with shortcircuit current limitation.

摘要

Switched power supply in which current mode control is performed and which includes an error amplifier (1) and an oscillator (2). This power supply also incorporates a differential amplifier (3) connected to the oscillator (2) to change the frequency of oscillation in the event of a shortcircuit at the output. The differential amplifier (3) receives the output signal (Vo) from the error amplifier (1). This output signal (Vo) from the error amplifier (1) is proportional to the output current delivered by the power supply such that when it exceeds a determined value, the frequency of the oscillator (2) is reduced in order to limit the shortcircuit current to a lower value. <IMAGE>
