Abstract

See full text

A control circuit of a boost DC/DC converter including a high side transistor and a low side transistor, includes a pulse modulator including a first error amplifier that amplifies an error between a reference voltage and a feedback signal corresponding to an output voltage of the converter, the pulse modulator being configured to generate a pulse signal with a pulse modulated, a logic circuit that generates a high side control signal and a low side control signal, and a load switch drive circuit that drives a load switch that is a PMOS transistor connected between the high side transistor and a load. The load switch drive circuit can make a switch between a first mode for fully turning on the PMOS transistor and a second mode for supplying a drive voltage corresponding to the output signal of the first error amplifier to a gate of the PMOS transistor.
