A control circuit includes: a comparing circuit, having a first input terminal and second input terminal, configured to operably generate a comparison signal according signals received by the first and second input terminals, wherein the first input terminal is utilized for coupling with a reference signal and the second input terminal is utilized for coupling with a feedback signal; a periodic signal generating circuit configured to operably generate a periodic signal and apply the periodic signal to the first input terminal or the second input terminal of the comparing circuit; and a control signal generating circuit for controlling an on time of a power switch according to the comparison signal. The periodic signal generating circuit clamps a limit of the periodic signal to a predetermined value, but does not configure the slope of the periodic signal to be zero when there is no current passing through the inductor.

Control circuit of power converter with upper limit clamping circuit and related method

The present invention discloses a control circuit for reducing output ripple in a constant on-time switching regulator and a method thereof, for controlling a power stage. The control circuit determines whether a zero current period wherein an output current is zero is longer than a threshold period, and switches the on-time period to a shorter period if it is longer, whereby the power stage operates according to the shorter period while still in the discontinuous conduction mode (DCM).
