Abstract
A method of a DC-to-DC (DC/DC) power converter includes: providing the DC/DC power converter having a switching node and an output sensing node, the switching node is used to be coupled to a first end of an inductive element which is externally connected to the DC/DC power converter, the output sensing node is used to be coupled to a second end of the inductive element, and an output voltage provided by the DC/DC power converter is generated at the second end of the inductive element through the inductive element; and, adjusting a switching frequency employed by the DC-to-DC power converter in response to a specific event that a ripple range of a current flowing through the inductive element reaches or exceeds above a specific range, wherein the specific event is detected by the DC/DC power converter via the switching node and the output sensing node.
