Abstract: A method detects current-limit events indicating a maximum current threshold of a switching converter has been reached, A compensation voltage is adjusted in response to the detected current-limit events, where the compensation voltage defines a duty cycle of the switching converter. A time for which no current-limit events have been detected is sensed, and the value of the compensation voltage adjusted in response to the detected time reaching a time step threshold.

Abstract: A method of controlling a switching regulator includes detecting current-limit events indicating a maximum current threshold has been exceeded. A compensation voltage is adjusted in response to the detected current-limit events, where the compensation voltage defines a duty cycle of the switching regulator. A time is detected for which no current-limit events have been detected and the value of the compensation voltage is adjusted to increase the duty cycle of the switching regulator in response to the detected time exceeding a time step threshold.

Abstract: A method of controlling a switching voltage regulator includes detecting current-limit events indicating a maximum inductor current threshold has been exceeded. A compensation voltage that determines a duty cycle and thereby an inductor current is controlled to reduce the inductor current and eliminate the occurrence of current-limit events. The method detects whether a time for which no current-limit events have been detected exceeds a time step threshold. The compensation voltage is controlled to increase the duty cycle and thereby the inductor current in response to the time exceeding the time step threshold. The time step threshold may be an integer number of switching cycles of the voltage regulator.

Abstract: A control device for a switching converter has an input terminal and an output terminal; the converter includes a half-bridge of a first and a second transistor coupled between the input terminal and a reference voltage. The control device detects a signal on the output terminal of the converter, integrates the detected signal and imposes a predefined minimum frequency of the detected signal. The control device regulates the average value of the detected signal by comparison with a reference signal and drives the first and second transistors in during the regulation. The control device turns off an integrator when the predefined minimum frequency is imposed.
