Patent number: 9859783Abstract: A voltage converter controller, adapted to a voltage converter circuit, includes a power switch controller and a dead-time determining circuit. The power switch controller receives a PWM signal and outputs a high-side control signal and a low-side control signal accordingly to control the conduction and cut-off of a high-side power switch and a low-side power switch respectively. When the power switch controller starts to control the low-side power switch cut-off, after a first dead-time, the power switch controller starts to control the high-side power switch conducting. The dead-time determining circuit detects a current of the low-side power switch to be larger or smaller than a threshold current when the low-side power switch is conducted, and determines the first dead-time to be a first value or a second value accordingly.Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 2013Date of Patent: January 2, 2018Assignee: RICHTEK TECHNOLOGY CORPInventors: Yu-Lun Chang, Yuan-Wen Hsiao, Jian-Rong Huang
