An adaptive slope generator can include a current mirror configured to receive a multiplied current that varies as a function of an output voltage and a switching frequency of a switching current. The output voltage can characterize the switching current provided to a load coupled to an inductor. The current mirror can also be configured to receive an oscillation current.

The adaptive slope generator can also include a ramp generator configured to generate a compensation signal based on the output current. The compensation signal can have a sawtooth shape and a slope that varies as a function of the output voltage.

摘要:
A signal generator generates a reference signal, centered about a reference voltage and having a predetermined period. The signal generator also generates output signals P and Z. The output signal P is a squarewave which changes levels at the peaks of the reference signal. The output signal Z is a squarewave which changes levels at the reference voltage crossings of the reference signal. A phase-shifted signal generator generates a phase-shifted signal using the output signals P and Z by switching in appropriate signal levels from the signal generator. The output signals P and Z are input to a switch control circuit which controls a network of switches, depending on a current region of the reference signal, to couple appropriate signals to an amplifier circuit. The switch control circuit determines the current region based on the state of the output signals P and Z. The amplifier circuit provides the phase-shifted signal in response to the signals coupled to it by the network of switches. In an alternate embodiment, the output signal Z is generated by a hysteretic comparator and changes levels at positive and negative threshold levels above and below the reference voltage. The values of the positive and negative threshold values are variable and determine the degree of phase shift between the phase-shifted signal and the reference signal.
