Abstract
A method of regulating voltage at an output of a switching power converter includes sensing an output voltage feedback signal; comparing the sensed feedback signal to a reference at a determined time during a cycling of the switch; and regulating the output voltage by either enabling or inhibiting cycling of a switch by a cycle of a drive signal produced by pulse generation circuitry in response to an output of the comparison.
