Abstract
A DC-to-DC controller and a control method thereof are provided. The DC-to-DC controller couples to an output stage, and the output stage provides an output voltage and includes an upper bridge switch and a lower bridge switch. The DC-to-DC controller includes a time signal generating unit and a time signal control circuit. The time signal control circuit couples to the time signal generating unit and receives a preset voltage and the output voltage. During a soft start period, if the output voltage is lower than the preset voltage, after the upper bridge switch is turned off and before the upper bridge switch is turned on again, the time signal control circuit turns off the upper bridge switch and the lower bridge switch for a first preset time and turns on the lower bridge switch for a second preset time.
