Lowering the Standby Power with Skip-Cycle
power by skipping unwanted cycles at light loads.
However, the recurrent frequency in skip often enters the
audible range and a high peak current obviously generates
acoustic noise in the transformer. The noise takes its origins
in the resonance of the transformer mechanical structure
Skip-cycle offers an efficient way to reduce the standby

which is excited by the skipping pulses. A possible
solution, successfully implemented in the NCP1200 series,
also authorizes skip-cycle but only when the power
demand has dropped below a given level. At this time, the
peak current is reduced and no noise can be heard.
