A method for controlling a buck converter is provided. The method includes monitoring an inductor current flowing through an inductor in the buck converter. The method includes controlling the buck converter to operate in a pulse frequency modulation (PFM) mode with intermittent conduction if the inductor current experiences a plurality of cross-zero periods. The method further includes adjusting a power consumption of a component in the buck converter according to the plurality of cross-zero periods of the inductor current, when the buck converter is operating in the PFM mode.

Method and device for controlling buck converter and chip

A zero-crossing state detection device for a converter and a converter device. The converter includes a first type of power switch electrically coupled between an input terminal and a switch node, a second type of power switch electrically coupled between the switch node and a ground terminal, and an inductor electrically coupled between the switch node and an output terminal. The zero-crossing state detection device includes: a zero-crossing state indication circuit, which is configured to generate an indication signal indicating the zero-crossing state of the inductor current flowing through the inductor, based on a voltage at the switch node after the second type of power switch is turned off and before the first type of power switch is turned on, according to first and second driving signals respectively applied to the first type of power switch and the second type of power switch. Efficiently and accurately monitoring the zero-crossing state of the inductor current cycle by cycle in real-time, serving as a basis for switching between different operating modes of light load and heavy load of the converter.
