  • Patent number: 9263947
    Abstract: A DC-DC converter including a Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) controller for converting an input voltage into an output voltage is provided. The PWM controller includes a first comparator, receiving a compensated error signal and a ramp signal, wherein when the compensated error signal exceeds the ramp signal, the first comparator generates a trigger signal. The PWM controller further includes a PWM generator coupled to the first comparator, providing a timing signal according to the trigger signal to control the operation of the DC-DC converter.

  • Patent number: 8395367
    Abstract: A DC-DC converter including a Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) controller for converting an input voltage into an output voltage is provided. The PWM controller includes an error amplifier, a comparator, a PWM generator and a ramp generator. The error amplifier generates an error signal according to a difference between a reference voltage and the output voltage. The comparator compares the error signal with a ramp signal to generate a trigger signal. The PWM generator generates a PWM signal with a fixed turn-on time, wherein a frequency of the PWM signal is adjusted according to the trigger signal, the input and output voltages. The ramp generator generates the ramp signal according to the PWM signal, the input voltage and the output voltage.

  • Patent number: 8018218
    Abstract: A PWM controller of a DC-DC converter is provided. The DC-DC converter converts an input voltage into an output voltage and comprises an output inductor coupled between an output of the DC-DC converter and a phase node. A first sense circuit senses a signal from the phase node to generate a first signal corresponding to the input voltage. A second sense circuit senses the signal from the phase node to generate a second signal corresponding to the output voltage. A PWM generator controls a first transistor and a second transistor of the DC-DC converter according to the first and second signals. The first transistor is coupled between the input voltage and the phase node, and the second transistor is coupled between the phase node and a ground.
