Shutdown circuit for a switching power supply

A switching mode power supply provides a D.C. output voltage having a value related to the duty cycle of the supply's controlled oscillator produced signal. The inventive shutdown circuit inhibits operation of the supply if the duty cycle increases to a value indicative of failure of the supply...

Zusammenfassung:A switching mode power supply provides a D.C. output voltage having a value related to the duty cycle of the supply's controlled oscillator produced signal. The inventive shutdown circuit inhibits operation of the supply if the duty cycle increases to a value indicative of failure of the supply to produce a minimum desired output voltage. Operation of the supply is inhibited for a predetermined shutdown interval following which a restart cycle deactivates the shutdown circuit for a period to allow the supply to attempt to establish its desired output.
