Abstract

The invention provides a PWM / PFM control circuit comprising a feedback circuit, an error amplifier, a PWM comparator, an oscillator, and an oscillator frequency control circuit. The feedback circuit samples an output voltage of a power conversion circuit, and generates a feedback voltage reflecting the output voltage. The error amplifier obtains an error amplification voltage based on the error between a reference voltage and the feedback voltage. The oscillator generates a triangular wave oscillation signal. The PWM comparator is used for comparing the triangular wave oscillation signal and the error amplification voltage to output a control signal. The oscillator frequency control circuit outputs a corresponding current signal to the oscillator based on the error amplification voltage. The oscillator adjusts the magnitude of the charging current of the oscillator based on the current signal in order to change the frequency of the triangular wave oscillation signal output by the oscillator. Compared with the prior art, the PWM / PFM control circuit of the invention not only can realize continuous switching transition from PFM to PWM, but also can further reduce the minimum value of frequency under a PFM mode.

Description

【Technical field】

[0001] The invention relates to the field of power management circuits, in particular to a PWM / PFM control circuit in a switching power converter circuit. 【Background technique】

[0002] Now many switching power converters (for example, step-down DC-DC converters) include two working modes: PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) mode and PFM (Pulse Frequency Modulation) mode. Generally, when the load is heavy, the switching power converter works in PWM mode, so that it works at a fixed higher frequency and maintains a lower output voltage ripple. However, since the switching loss of the control circuit is generally large in PWM mode, usually when the load is light, the switching power converter switches to work in PFM mode. As the load becomes lighter, its operating frequency becomes lower, and the control circuit The average value of switching losses becomes lower as the frequency decreases. Because the traditional control circuit compatible with PWM mode and PFM ...
