    摘要: A system for determining a data converter operating mode includes measurement circuitry for measuring master clock frequency of a master clock signal and a frequency ratio between a frequency of a data clock signal and the master clock frequency and a mapping system for mapping the measurement of the frequency ratio to an operating mode of the data converter. The mapping system generates a set of candidate divide ratios for dividing the master clock frequency to generate corresponding internal master clock frequencies of an internal clock signal and determines the lowest divide ratio which generates a supported internal master clock frequency. In an alternate embodiment, the mapping system determines the divide ratio required by a filter of the data converter by dividing the data clock to master clock frequency ratio by a data clock to internal clock frequency ratio between the data clock frequency and the frequency of an internal clock signal. In additional embodiments, the mapping system gives preference to natural number divide ratios during mode mapping.

    摘要: A switching converter controller and method for controlling a switch-mode converter in a hybrid discontinuous conduction mode (DCM)/continuous conduction mode (CCM) mode are disclosed. The hybrid mode involves using double (two) or more switching pulses in a switching period of a control signal for controlling the switch-mode converter. The switching period is defined by a switch on-time duration, a switch off-time duration, and an N number of switching pulses. N is an integer greater than one. An inductor current through the inductor of the switch-mode converter is zero before an initial switching pulse, is zero after a last switching pulse, and is non-zero for all other times within the switching period. The switch-mode-converter controller can be used as a power factor correction controller for a power factor corrector. The switch-mode converter controller can be implemented on a single integrated circuit.
