Abstract
A switch mode power supply includes an error amplifier, an oscillator, a pulse width modulation logic circuit, and an output stage. The oscillator includes a current generator that receives a clock signal and provides a current proportional to a frequency of the clock signal, a current mirror having an input coupled to the output of the current generator, and a first capacitor having a first terminal coupled to an output of the current mirror and providing a ramp signal, and a second terminal coupled to power supply voltage terminal. The pulse width modulation logic circuit compares the output of the error amplifier with the ramp signal, and generates a high- and low-side drive signals respectively to first and second outputs in response to the comparing. The output stage is responsive to the high- and low-side drive signals for alternatively coupling a switch terminal between an input voltage terminal and ground.
