  • Patent number: 8912769
    Abstract: A current mode buck-boost converter has an input terminal, an output terminal, and an output capacitor coupled to the output terminal. The input terminal is used to receive an input voltage, and the output terminal is for producing the output voltage. The current mode buck-boost converter comprises a voltage converter and a control circuit. The voltage converter comprises an inductor. The control circuit is for detecting the current passing through the inductor to determine the electric energy transmitted to the output terminal by the voltage converter. Accordingly, the current mode buck-boost converter has fast response, and the electrical energy can be recycled and stored to the voltage source when the current mode buck-boost converter operates in down-tracking process.

  • Patent number: 8502516
    Abstract: A voltage regulation module coupled to a power conversion module to form a closed loop. The power conversion module includes a PWM circuit and a conversion circuit. The conversion circuit includes serially coupled first and second power switches. The PWM circuit outputs a drive signal to control the first and second power switches to cause the conversion circuit to generate an output current. The voltage regulation module includes subtraction and regulation circuits. The subtraction circuit obtains a voltage related to the output current, and performs a subtraction operation on this voltage and a reference voltage to generate a second regulation voltage. The regulation circuit generates a level voltage, which is directly proportional to the output current, according to the second regulation voltage. The PWM circuit adjusts a voltage level of the drive signal according to the level voltage so that this voltage level follows the output current.
