A power converter includes a power stage, a feedback circuit, a ramp generator and a controller. The power stage generates a pulse width modulation signal for forming an output voltage. The controller includes a comparator, a control logic circuit, an on-time generator and an off-time generator. The comparator generates a comparison signal according to a compensation signal from the feedback circuit and a ramp signal from the ramp generator. The control logic circuit generates a first trigger signal according to the comparison signal and an off-time pulse signal. The on-time generator generates a duty signal according to the first trigger signal. The duty signal is transmitted to the power stage for controlling a duty cycle ratio of the pulse width modulation signal. The off-time generator generates the off-time pulse signal according to the duty signal and transmits the off-time pulse signal to the control logic circuit.

Timing controller for power converter

A power stage circuit generates an output signal according to an input signal and a control signal. A ramp generator circuit generates a ramp signal according to the control signal, the input signal, and the output signal. A calculation circuit generates a calculation signal according to the output signal and a reference signal. The calculation circuit operates in a first mode when the power converter operates in a light loading state, and the calculation circuit operates in a second mode when the power converter operates in a normal state. A control circuit generates the control signal according to the calculation signal and the ramp signal. The control circuit includes a comparator circuit and a control signal generator. The comparator circuit generates a comparison signal according to the calculation signal and the ramp signal. The control signal generator generates the control signal according to the comparison signal.
