  • Patent number: 9979288
    Abstract: Switching mode power supply (SMPS) having a switch circuit and a controller. The switch circuit has an output inductor and a switch with a minimum on time. A control signal is generated by the controller to control the switching operation of the switch based on a clock signal with a switching frequency and an off signal. When the required on time of the switch is smaller than the minimum on time, the SMPS reduces the switching frequency adaptively and the actual on time of the switch is controlled to be the minimum on time.
