摘要:
The present invention provides an off time control method and switching regulator using it. The current flowing through a switch is compared with a current threshold, and the switch is turned off if the current flowing through the switch is larger than the current threshold. The off time of the switch is determined by the load. The current threshold is variable at light load to prevent generating the audible noise and improve the whole efficiency.

The present disclosure provides methods and apparatus for fault protection for electronic devices (e.g., cold cathode fluorescent lamps). In one embodiment, a fault signal is detected and compared with a threshold to output a comparison signal. The comparison signal is then processed to generate a trigger signal, which triggers a fault control block once it satisfies certain fault conditions.

The present invention discloses a Class-D power amplifier and control method thereof. In one embodiment, the amplifier feeds back the signal at the output node to the inverting input of the comparator, and provides a high frequency triangular wave signal to the non-inverting input of the comparator. In addition, the non-inverting input of the comparator may be coupled to an offset voltage, while the inverting input of the comparator may be coupled to a fixed-frequency rectangular wave signal, a feedback signal which is derived from the output stage and an input signal. In use, the switching frequency may be at least substantially fixed, so as to reduce the influence on the system caused by electromagnetic interruption (EMI). Further, the control circuit is simple, and some devices can be integrated.

A buck converter has a driver circuit with a drive transformer that provides complementary voltages to the buck converter switches. The drive transformer may have two secondary windings, with one winding for each converter switch. As one converter switch experiences a rising gate voltage, the other converter switch experiences a falling gate voltage. Since both converter switches are controlled by the same driver switches, the converter switch dead time is very small. Preferably, at least one converter switch has a voltage shift circuit connected to the gate electrode. Adjustment of the voltage shift magnitude will advance or delay the turn on and turn off times of the switch. Hence, the converter switch dead time can be precisely adjusted by varying the voltage shift magnitude. Preferably, the converter switch dead time is less than 1 or 2 nanoseconds.

A voltage regulator with adaptive hysteretic control. The voltage regulator may include a top switch (e.g., MOSFET) configured to couple a power supply supplying an input voltage to a load. An adaptive hysteretic control circuit of the voltage regulator may turn on the top switch when the feedback voltage reaches the low threshold and turn off the top switch when the feedback voltage reaches the high threshold. The adaptive hysteretic control circuit may adjust the upper and lower threshold to make the voltage regulator working like a constant on time control circuit in steady state. When a step down transient happens, the top switch could be turned off when the output voltage reaches the upper threshold, and when a step up transient happens, the top switch could be turned on when the output voltage reaches the lower threshold, it makes the voltage regulator working like a hysteretic control circuit.
