Abstract
A controller for a switching converter has a comparison circuit, a load detect unit, a switching signal generator. The comparison circuit provides a comparison signal based on a feedback signal indicative of an output voltage. The unit detect unit determines whether a load release event is occurring in a load. The switching signal generator provides a switching control signal based on the comparison signal and the load release event. In response to the load detect unit determines that the load release event is occurring, the controller locks the switching control signal to force a high-side power switch and a low-side power switch off, and until the feedback signal is lower than a sum of a reference signal and a slope signal, the controller unlocks the switching control signal.
