    Abstract: A Power Factor Correction (PFC) controller includes an error amplifier for amplifying a difference between Vout and intended Vout to provide a power demand (Pdem) output at a compensation pin. A burst mode controller includes soft-start circuitry coupled to receive Pdem and to a drive pin which provides pulses to a control node of a power switch of a DC-DC converter during burst periods. The pulses slow ramping of line current over a first 2 to 36 switching cycles at a beginning of bursts when energizing the inductor to reduce a line current slope as compared to without ramping up, and for slowing ramping down of line current over the last 2 to 36 switching cycles to reduce a line current slope when de-energizing the inductor as compared to a line current without ramping down. The PFC controller does not utilize zero-crossings of the line voltage for burst period synchronization.

    Abstract: A switching converter is provided that includes a power MOSFET, a controller having a drive pin connected to a gate terminal of the power MOSFET, and a resistor connected to the gate terminal. A compensation time selection circuit is included that has compensation times stored therein. A compensation time is selected from the compensation times based on a value of the resistor and stored in the controller. The selected compensation time compensates for an inherent delay in switching the power MOSFET to an ON state after the power MOSFET receives a signal to switch to the ON state to allow the power MOSFET to switch to the ON state when a drain voltage of the power MOSFET's reaches its lowest value during a switching cycle.

    Abstract: Disclosed examples include methods and control circuits to operate a single or multi-phase DC-DC converter, including an output that turns a first switch on for a controlled on time and then turns the switch off for a controlled off time in successive control cycles, as well as a PWM circuit that computes a threshold time value corresponding to a predetermined peak inductor current and a duty cycle value, and computes a first time value according to an error value for a subsequent second switching control cycle. The PWM circuit sets the on time to the first time value to operate in a critical conduction mode for the second switching control cycle when the first time value is greater than or equal to the threshold time value, and otherwise sets the controlled on time to the threshold time value for discontinuous conduction mode operation in the second control cycle.
