  • Publication number: 20220368225
    Abstract: A control circuit used in a switching converter having a switch and an inductor. The control circuit has an error amplifying circuit, a current comparing circuit, a clock generator and a constant OFF time generator. The error amplifying circuit receives a voltage reference signal and a voltage feedback signal indicative of an output voltage signal, and provides an error signal. The current comparing circuit compares the error signal with a current sensing signal indicative of a current flowing through the inductor, and provides a comparing signal to turn the switch OFF. When the switching converter is coupled to a filtering capacitor, the clock generator provides a clock signal to turn the switch ON, and when the switching converter is coupled to a super capacitor, the clock generator is disabled and the constant OFF time generator provides a constant OFF time signal to turn the switch ON.
