Abstract

See full text

Various embodiments of switch mode power supplies, circuits, and methods of control are described herein. In one embodiment, a method of operating a switch mode power supply having a switching circuit coupled to an inductor includes modulating a duty cycle of the switching circuit to charge the inductor using pulse width modulation, supplying an output voltage from the inductor to the load, performing a comparison between the output voltage and a reference voltage, and deriving an error signal based on the comparison between the output voltage and the reference voltage. The method also includes generating a clock signal for the pulse width modulation based on the received error signal.
