  • Patent number: 12068689
    Abstract: A power converter device is provided. A feedback circuit outputs a comparison output signal. A phase-locked loop circuit provides a phase-locked signal according to a reference clock signal and an inductor voltage in a power converter circuit. An on-time circuit provides an on-time comparing signal according to the phase-locked signal, an input voltage, the inductor voltage and an output voltage of the power converter circuit. A first input terminal of an SR flip-flop receives the on-time comparing signal from the on-time circuit. A second input terminal of the SR flip-flop receives the comparison output signal from the feedback circuit. A frequency control circuit, according to changes in the input voltage and the output voltage of the power converter circuit, instantaneously adjusts the on-time of the on-time signal such that an output terminal of the SR flip-flop outputs the adjusted on-time signal to the power converter circuit.

  • Patent number: 11258365
    Abstract: A power converter is provided. A driver circuit is connected between a controller circuit and a switch circuit. The switch circuit is connected to an inductor. The inductor is connected in series with a first capacitor and grounded through the first capacitor. A first comparison input terminal of a first comparator is connected to an output terminal between the inductor and the first capacitor. A second comparison input terminal of the first comparator is grounded through a second capacitor. The controller circuit outputs a control signal for controlling the driver circuit to drive the switch circuit according to a comparison signal outputted by the first comparator. A reference current source provides a reference current to the second capacitor. A first terminal of a first resistor is connected to the second capacitor. A second terminal of the first resistor is coupled to a reference potential.
