Patent number: 9203308Abstract: A power converter includes a ramp generating unit, a first comparator, a second comparator, and a pulse width modulation (PWM) signal generating unit. The ramp generating unit provides a ramp signal. The first comparator receives the ramp signal and a control signal to provide a normal operation control signal. The second comparator receives the ramp signal and the control signal to provide a dynamic response control signal. The PWM signal generating unit generates a PWM signal according to the normal operation control signal or dynamic response control signal. When the control signal is higher than a threshold of ramp signal, the second comparator provides the dynamic response control signal to the PWM signal generating unit to control it to adjust a duty cycle of the PWM signal.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2013Date of Patent: December 1, 2015Assignee: UPI SEMICONDUCTOR CORPORATIONInventor: Han Pang Wang

Patent number: 8350545Abstract: A current balancer suitable for a multi-phase power converting device is provided. The current balancer includes an error detection unit and a plurality of pulse control units. Each of the pulse control units includes a current-to-voltage converter, a charging and discharging controller, a capacitor, and a comparator. The error detection unit detects a plurality of channel currents generated by the multi-phase power converting device, and generates a plurality of error currents by calculating. The charging and discharging controller provides a charging voltage or a discharging voltage according to a constant pulse-width modulation (PWM) signal. When the channel currents are balanced, the comparator generates a PWM signal with a constant duty cycle. When the channel currents are not balanced, an error voltage generated by the current-to-voltage converter is used to adjust a voltage level of the charging voltage or the discharging voltage, so that the PWM signal is varied correspondingly.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2010Date of Patent: January 8, 2013Assignee: uPI Semiconductor Corp.Inventors: Hua-Chiang Huang, Chih-Lien Chang, Han-Pang Wang
