Abstract
There is provided a current controlling mode DC-DC converter that operates in a PWM mode or a PFM mode by adjusting a turned-on time of a gate depending on power consumption of a load. The DC-DC converter includes a first comparator that receives a first input voltage and a second input voltage and outputs a first output signal, a second comparator that receives a reference voltage for mode switching and the second input voltage and outputs a second output signal, and a first logic element that outputs a reset signal for turning off a gate at a point of time when both the first output signal and the second output signal are applied. Examples may also include additional elements to facilitate mode switching.
