Abstract
An integrated circuit for a power supply circuit configured to generate an output voltage at a target level. The power supply circuit includes a transistor configured to control an inductor current flowing through an inductor. The integrated circuit includes a load detection circuit outputting a detection voltage corresponding to a power consumption of a load and corresponding to an operation mode of the power supply circuit, based on the inductor current, a driver circuit driving the transistor according to the operation mode of the power supply circuit, and a control circuit configured to control the driver circuit to switch the power supply circuit to a second mode upon the detection voltage reaching a first level with a decrease in the power consumption of the load, and to a first mode upon the detection voltage reaching a second level with an increase in the power consumption of the load.
