Abstract
A control device for a switching voltage regulator having a switching circuit receives a set of measurement signals including a first measurement signal indicative of an output voltage of the switching voltage regulator. A burst-mode controller is configured to monitor the output voltage with respect to a first threshold and a second threshold higher than the first threshold, and to provide, in response, a burst signal. A driving-signal generation stage is configured to provide at least one switching control signal for the switching circuit based on the burst signal and the set of measurement signals. The driving-signal generation stage has a feedback module configured to provide a control signal based on the burst signal and an error signal indicative of a difference between the first measurement signal and a reference signal.
