  • Publication number: 20240339929
    Abstract: A control circuit for a power converter includes an error amplifier, a compensation circuit, a comparator, and a controller. The error amplifier generates an error amplification signal according to a first reference signal and a feedback signal. The compensation circuit compensates the error amplification signal to obtain a compensation signal that is a ripple signal, The controller generates a switching control signal according to a predetermined clock pulse signal and a comparison signal of the compensation signal and the feedback signal. The clock pulse signal being used to determine a frequency of the switching control signal, and the comparison signal being used to determine a duty cycle of the switching control signal.
