The present invention provides a power converter having a phase lock
circuit for quasi-resonant soft switching. The power converter includes a
first circuit coupled to the feedback signal to generate a switching
signal for switching a switching device and regulating the output of the
power converter. A second circuit is coupled to an auxiliary winding of
the transformer for generating a voltage signal in response to the
voltage of the transformer. A phase lock circuit generates a control
signal to enable the switching signal in accordance with the voltage
signal. The switching signal further turns on the switching device in
response to a valley voltage across the switching device.
