Abstract

See full text

A power controller provides a block time in response to an output current to an output load, and the block time determines a maximum switching frequency of a switching mode power supply. An exemplifying power controller has an output current estimator, a block time generator, and a pulse width modulator. The output current estimator provides a load representative signal in response to a discharge time of the inductive device and a current sense signal, wherein the current sense signal represents a current through an inductive device. The block time generator provides a block time based on the load representative signal. The pulse width modulator generates a pulse-width-modulation signal to control a power switch in response to a compensation signal, which is in response to the output voltage to the output load. The cycle time of the pulse-width-modulation signal is limited to be not less than the block time.
