    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: A multi-loop error amplifier circuit for generating an error amplification signal includes: a first operational transconductance amplifier (OTA) including a first current output stage which generates a first transconductance amplification current in a predetermined current direction according to a first voltage difference between a positive terminal and a negative input terminal of the first OTA; a second OTA including a second current output stage which generates a second transconductance amplification current in the predetermined current direction according to a second voltage difference between a positive terminal and a negative input terminal of the second OTA. The first and the second current output stages are coupled in series to generate a first error output current. The error amplification signal is generated according to the first error output current which is equal to the smaller one of the first and the second transconductance amplification currents.
