Abstract

In an embodiment, a power-supply controller includes switching circuitry and an adjuster circuit. The switching circuitry is configured to cause a charging current to flow until the charging current has a predetermined relationship to a threshold, and to cause a discharging current to flow to an output node that carries an output voltage after the charging current. And the adjuster circuit is configured to adjust the threshold such that a ripple voltage superimposed on the output voltage has an approximately constant magnitude. For example, a power supply may include such a power-supply controller to maintain the magnitude of the output ripple voltage within a particular range during a pulse-frequency-modulation (PFM) mode despite variations in one or more parameters such as input voltage, output voltage, filter capacitance, phase inductance, and charging-current-sense impedance, from their respective nominal values.

Description

[0001] priority claim [0002] This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61 / 922,259, filed December 31, 2013, and U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61 / 874,351, filed September 5, 2013; are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety. technical field [0003] The present application relates generally to electronic circuits, and an embodiment disclosed in the present application relates particularly to a device configured to maintain the ripple of an output voltage within a specified range, such as a substantially constant The level of the controller of the power supply. Background technique [0004] figure 1 is a circuit diagram of a power supply, here a boost converter (sometimes referred to as a boost regulator) 10, and a load 12 receiving power from the boost converter. The boost converter 10 converts an input signal (here an input voltage V in ) becomes a regulated output signal (here a regulated output voltage V out ), ...
