Abstract

Disclosed herein is a DC-DC converter, including a high-side power switch coupled between an input voltage and a switched node and a low-side power switch coupled between the switched node and ground. An inductor is coupled between the switched node and an output node. An output capacitor is coupled between the output node and ground. A control circuit is configured to operate the high-side power switch in a constant charge mode of operation to vary on-time of the high-side power switch to maintain a constant amount of charge being transferred to the output capacitor during each charging cycle, independent of variation of the input voltage.
