Abstract: The present invention provides a dual constant time buck-boost switching regulator, and a control circuit and a method thereof. The buck-boost switching regulator converts an input voltage to an output voltage and it includes a buck circuit and a boost circuit. The buck circuit includes an inductor, a buck power switch and a buck power device. The boost circuit includes the inductor, a boost power switch and a boost power device. The present invention controls the buck power switch to be OFF by a constant OFF time in the buck conversion mode, and controls the boost power switch to be ON by a constant ON time in the boost conversion mode. An offset signal ensures that the buck-boost regulator operates only in pure buck conversion mode and pure boost conversion mode, but does not need to operate in a buck-boost conversion mode.

Abstract: The present invention provides a flyback power converter with a programmable output and a control circuit and a control method thereof. The flyback power converter converts an input voltage to a programmable output voltage according to a setting signal, wherein the programmable output voltage switches between different levels. The flyback power converter includes: a transformer circuit, a power switch circuit, a current sense circuit, an opto-coupler circuit, and a control circuit. The control circuit adaptively adjusts an operation signal according to a level of the programmable output voltage, to maintain a same or relatively higher operation frequency of the operation signal when the programmable output voltage switches to a relatively lower level, so as to maintain a phase margin while supplying the same output current.
