    摘要: The present invention provides a dual constant time buck-boost switching regulator, and a control circuit and a method thereof. The buck-boost switching regulator converts an input voltage to an output voltage and it includes a buck circuit and a boost circuit. The buck circuit includes an inductor, a buck power switch and a buck power device. The boost circuit includes the inductor, a boost power switch and a boost power device. The present invention controls the buck power switch to be OFF by a constant OFF time in the buck conversion mode, and controls the boost power switch to be ON by a constant ON time in the boost conversion mode. An offset signal ensures that the buck-boost regulator operates only in pure buck conversion mode and pure boost conversion mode, but does not need to operate in a buck-boost conversion mode.

    摘要: When a ramp signal intersects a feedback related signal, a constant time switching regulator enters a first state and maintains in the first state for a constant time, and after the constant time ends, when the ramp signal exceeds the feedback related signal, the switching regulator enters a second state, while when the ramp signal does not exceed the feedback related signal, the switching regulator enters a third state. In the first state, the first end of an inductor is connected to input voltage and the second end of the inductor is connected to output voltage; in the second state, the first end is connected to ground and the second end is connected to output voltage; and in the third state, the first end is connected to input voltage and the second end is connected to ground.
