The circuit for detecting the maximal frequency of the pulse frequency modulation includes an oscillator-controlling unit, a delay circuit and a master-slave register. The oscillator-controlling unit is connected to an oscillator, which generates the pulse frequency modulation signals, and includes a first-half pulse-generating module and a second-half pulse-generating module. The delay circuit is connected to the second-half pulse-generating module. The master-slave register includes a clock, an input end and an output end, wherein the input end is connected to the oscillator-controlling unit, and the clock is connected to the delay circuit.

Circuit for detecting maximal frequency of pulse frequency modulation and method thereof

The switching method between pulse frequency modulation and pulse width modulation signals is first based on an output voltage of a power transistor to generate a corresponding pulse frequency modulation signal. Next, it is determined whether the corresponding pulse frequency modulation signal has reached its maximal frequency. If so, the initial pulse width modulation signal is adjusted to have the same width as the pulse frequency modulation signal. Thereafter, the adjusted pulse width modulation signal is outputted.
