Abstract
A pulse width modulation control circuit for controlling a power converter circuit includes: a main loop control circuit; and a light-load loop control circuit. The light-load loop control circuit includes a current synthesis circuit configured to generate a synthesized current signal according to an input voltage and a target value of an output voltage and an inductance value of an inductor in a power stage circuit of the power converter circuit. The light-load loop control circuit generates a pulse modulation signal in light-load mode according to the synthesized current signal, to control a duty ratio of the power stage circuit. In the light-load mode, the main loop control circuit enters a power-saving state to reduce the power consumption of the pulse width modulation control circuit. The power-saving state includes: reducing the power consumption of the current sense circuit or stopping the operation of the current sense circuit.
