Abstract
A power supply controller includes a switching circuit which, in response to a control signal, transfers an analog signal to an output node as an outputted analog signal, the output node being coupled to an inductor and a capacitor, an analog to digital (A/D) converter which converts an outputted analog signal to a digital signal, a pulse width modulation (PWM) generator circuit which produces a PWM signal based on the digital signal, a driver which produces the control signal in response to the PWM signal, and a conversion range setting unit which sets a range data for the A/D converter based on the digital signal during a first period, and which sets the range data based on the PWM signal during a second period.
