Abstract

See full text

A control method of a switching converter, wherein the switching converter has a main transistor and is configured to provide an output signal. The control method includes: generating a feedback signal indicative of the output signal of the switching converter; generating a clock signal to determine the switching frequency of the main transistor; generating a control signal to control the main transistor based on the clock signal and the feedback signal; and detecting whether the on-time of the main transistor is smaller than a time threshold based on the control signal. If the on-time of the main transistor is smaller than the time threshold, the frequency of the clock signal will be adjusted to regulate the on-time of the main transistor to be equal to the time threshold.
