    Abstract: A switching regulator includes a power stage circuit and a controller circuit. The controller circuit includes a first amplification circuit, a second amplification circuit, a ramp signal generation circuit, and a comparator. The first amplification circuit generates an amplification signal according to a difference between a low-pass filtered signal and a feedback signal. The second amplification circuit generates an adjustment signal according to a difference between the feedback signal and a fast response signal. The comparator generates a pulse width modulation signal according to a difference between the amplification signal and a ramp signal to generate a switch control signal. The adjustment signal adaptively adjusts the amplification signal or the ramp signal. The low-pass filtered signal is related to a signal generated by filtering out higher frequency part of the reference signal, and the reference signal is related to a dynamic change of a target level of the output voltage.

    Abstract: A switching power conversion circuit includes a conversion capacitor, a capacitive power conversion circuit, an inductor, an inductive power conversion circuit and a switching control circuit. The capacitive power conversion circuit switches the conversion capacitor periodically according to a switching control signal generated by the switching control circuit, to generate a first intermediate voltage and a first proportional voltage in a promptly rising mode and to generate a second intermediate voltage and a second proportional voltage in a promptly falling mode. In the promptly rising mode, a rising slope of an inductor current is determined by a difference between a high level of the first proportional voltage and an output voltage. In the promptly falling mode, a falling slope of the inductor current is determined by a difference between a low level of the second proportional voltage and the output voltage.

    Abstract: A LED driver using a PWM signal for dimming control includes a power converter and a current regulator. The power converter provides an output voltage and a load current for a plurality of LEDs. The current regulator provides a load current dependent signal for the power converter to speed up load transient response caused by variation of the load current, to reduce the ripple of the output voltage, and thereby to avoid audio noise during PWM dimming.

    Abstract: A PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) controller includes a current detector, a current emulator, a voltage-to-current converter, and a current adder. The current detector detects a first current, and generates a second current according to the first current. The current detector receives an input voltage and outputs an output voltage. The current emulator obtains the relative information of a lower-gate current. The voltage-to-current converter draws a third current from the current emulator according to the input voltage and the output voltage. The current emulator generates a fourth current according to the relative information and the third current. The current adder adds the fourth current to the second current, so as to generate a sum current.

    Abstract: A light emitting device driver circuit includes: a power conversion circuit, an error amplifier circuit, a sample-and-hold circuit, a load current generation circuit and a feed-forward capacitor. When the light emitting device driver circuit is in a disable phase, the sample-and-hold circuit connects a feedback signal with a second reference voltage and the sample-and-hold circuit disconnects the feedback signal from a load node, whereby the feed-forward capacitor samples a sample voltage and holds it after the disable phase transits to an enable phase. In the enable phase, the sample-and-hold circuit disconnects the feedback signal from the second reference voltage and the sample-and-hold circuit connects the feedback signal with the load node, so that during a predetermined period following the transition, there is a sufficient difference between two input terminals of the error amplifier circuit so that the load current is raised to a desired current level within the predetermined period.
