Abstract: A voltage regulator circuit includes a first transistor, an inductor, and a diode. The inductor connects to the diode at a switch node. The voltage converter produces an output voltage that is larger than an input voltage. The first transistor has on and off states and electrically couples a node to ground when in the on state. An error amplifier circuit generates an error signal based on a difference between a reference voltage and a voltage indicative of the output voltage. The error signal causes the first transistor to transition from the on to the off state. An adaptive off-time generator circuit couples to the input voltage node, and generates a signal to cause the first transistor to transition from the off to the on state. The time the first transistor is in the off state is inversely proportional to the time the first transistor is in the on state.
