    摘要: Various techniques directed to providing temporary peak power from a switching regulator are disclosed. In one aspect, a switching regulator includes a switch that is to be coupled between a power supply input and an energy transfer element of the power supply. A controller is coupled to be responsive to a feedback signal to be received from an output of the power supply. The controller is coupled to switch the switch in response to the feedback signal to regulate the output of the power supply. An oscillator is coupled to provide an oscillating signal to the controller to determine a maximum switching frequency of the switch. The oscillating signal is coupled to oscillate at a first frequency under a first moderate load condition at the power supply output. The oscillating signal is coupled to oscillate at a second frequency under a second peak load condition at the power supply output.

    摘要: A time-differential analog comparator includes a variable frequency signal source, a timing circuit, a counting circuit, and an evaluation circuit. The variable frequency signal source provides a repeating signal having a frequency corresponding to a value of an analog input. The timing circuit defines a timing sequence including a first time interval and a second time interval and generates a mode select signal at a time between the first time interval and the second time interval to stimulate a change in the analog input. The counting circuit is coupled to the timing circuit to count the periods of the repeating signal. The evaluation circuit coupled generates a decision signal in response to a count of the periods of the repeating signal indicated by the counting circuit. The first time interval is not equal to the second time interval to generate an offset in the decision signal.
