    摘要: A power stage circuit generates an output signal according to an input signal and a control signal. A ramp generator circuit generates a ramp signal according to the control signal, the input signal, and the output signal. A calculation circuit generates a calculation signal according to the output signal and a reference signal. The calculation circuit operates in a first mode when the power converter operates in a light loading state, and the calculation circuit operates in a second mode when the power converter operates in a normal state. A control circuit generates the control signal according to the calculation signal and the ramp signal. The control circuit includes a comparator circuit and a control signal generator. The comparator circuit generates a comparison signal according to the calculation signal and the ramp signal. The control signal generator generates the control signal according to the comparison signal.

    摘要: The invention provides a feedback control device and a feedback control method thereof. The feedback control device includes an enhancing circuit and a comparator. The enhancing circuit receives a feedback voltage corresponding to an output voltage of a DC-to-DC converter. In an embodiment, the enhancing circuit generates an enhanced feedback voltage based on the feedback voltage, and the comparator uses a comparison result between a reference voltage and the enhanced feedback voltage as a control signal to a feedback control terminal of the DC-to-DC converter. In another embodiment, the enhancing circuit generates an enhanced reference voltage based on the reference voltage, and the comparator uses a comparison result between the enhanced reference voltage and the feedback voltage as the control signal. In yet another embodiment, the comparator uses a comparison result between the enhanced reference voltage and the enhanced feedback voltage as the control signal.

    摘要: A DC-to-DC converter and a PWM device thereof are provided. The PWM device includes a ramp generator circuit, an error amplifier, a comparator and a clamping circuit. The error amplifier compares a voltage difference between the feedback voltage and the reference voltage to output a comparison voltage corresponding to the voltage difference. The comparator compares a ramp voltage of the ramp generator circuit and the comparison voltage of the error amplifier, so as to output a pulse signal. The clamping circuit determines whether to induce the comparison voltage to follow the ramp voltage. The clamping circuit is disabled when the PWM device is operated in the PWM mode, such that the comparison voltage and the ramp voltage are independent of each other. The clamping circuit is enabled when the PWM device is operated in the non-PWM mode, such that the comparison voltage follows the ramp voltage.
