  • Patent number: 11973424
    Abstract: Described herein is a spur-free technique for a switching regulator. The switching regulator may self-adaptively reduce the spur of the output voltage without affecting performance of the switching frequency, The switching regulator may track a coil current and may use an active feedback loop to adaptively generate an artificial coil current, which tracks an amplitude of the coil current but having opposite phase. The artificial coil current may then be injected into an output node to cancel the coil current ripple.

  • Patent number: 11742741
    Abstract: Described herein is a switching regulator that can provide a high current while operating with low noise and low spur. The switching regulator may operate with a varying switching frequency. Spurs at the varying switching frequency may be reduced by compensating an error amplifier, which controls the switching frequency.

  • Patent number: 9537390
    Abstract: A control circuit (115), a control method, a DC-DC converter and an electronic device are provided. The control circuit (115) is used to control the DC-DC converter to switch its operation modes. In the control circuit (115), whether mode of the DC-DC converter is to be switched is judged according to parameters of a first duration of an active duration and a second duration of an inactive duration. Comparison of analog values is prevented, and as a result, the use of the analog comparator is reduced, thus the influence of the semiconductor processes on designing a controller can be reduced.
