Abstract
A constant time buck-boost switching converter includes: a power switch circuit for switching a first terminal of an inductor between an input voltage and a ground, and for switching a second terminal of the inductor between an output voltage and the ground; and a modulation control circuit for generating a buck ramp signal and a boost ramp signal and for controlling the inductor according to comparisons of these two ramp signals with an error amplification signal, so as to convert the input voltage to the output voltage. The average levels of the buck ramp signal and the boost ramp signal are both equal to a product of the output voltage multiplied by a predetermined ratio. The upper limit of the buck ramp signal and the lower limit of the boost ramp signal are both equal to a product of the input voltage multiplied by the predetermined ratio.
