Abstract
A switching controller having switching frequency hopping for a power converter includes a first oscillator generating a pulse signal and a maximum duty-cycle signal for determining a switching frequency of a switching signal, a pattern generator having a second oscillator and generating a digital pattern code in response to a clock signal, a programmable capacitor coupled to the pattern generator and the first oscillator for modulating the switching frequency of the switching signal in response to the digital pattern code, and a PWM circuit coupled to the first oscillator for generating the switching signal in accordance with the maximum duty-cycle signal. A maximum on-time of the switching signal is limited by the maximum duty-cycle signal. The switching signal is utilized to switch a transformer of the power converter.
