Abstract
A timer for creating a stable on time. The timer may have a reference voltage source, and an input voltage source. The voltage sources providing voltage that can be applied to a various circuit components such as capacitors, inductors, resistors, diodes, transistors, or other components. The reference voltage source may also be modified by a set of transistors coupled as a diode before being seen by an input of a timer comparator. The reference and input voltage source signals, which may be modified by circuit components, are compared by the timer comparator and then output as a timer control signal. The timer control signal may control a voltage converter, or the switches of a voltage converter.
