Abstract: A circuit includes a first driver, a second driver, and a burst mode control circuit coupled to the first and second drivers. The burst mode control circuit is configured to implement a burst mode operation having a burst soft-on portion and a burst portion. During the soft-on portion of the burst mode operation, the burst mode control circuit is configured to cause the first and second drivers to produce a first set of pulses of increasing pulse width. During the burst portion of the burst mode operation, the burst mode control circuit is configured to cause the first and second drivers to produce a second set of pulses of a constant pulse width.

Abstract: A switching regulator having a current limit with adaptive cycle skipping. A buck type switching regulator circuit is provided, including an energy storage component, such as an inductor or capacitor, and a switch for controllably providing an input current to the energy storage component. A control unit controls the on time and the off time of the switch by providing cyclically recurring control pulses to the switch that cause the switch to be on during the pulses and off otherwise. A current monitor circuit monitors a current corresponding to the input current applied to the energy storage component during the periodic control pulses. An overcurrent signal generator generates an overcurrent signal pulse upon detection of the monitored current at a level above a predetermined level corresponding to an overcurrent condition.
