Abstract

Methods and apparatuses for regulating a power converter are described. A device comprising a control circuit and a logic circuit can be integrated in a controller coupled to the power converter. The control circuit can generate a constant off-time signal based on a ramp signal and an error signal. The logic circuit can generate a control signal based on the constant off-time signal and a constant on-time signal. The logic circuit can output the control signal to the power converter. In response to an on-time period of the constant off-time signal being less than an on-time period of the constant on-time signal, the control signal can vary according to the constant on-time signal. In response to the on-time period of the constant off-time signal being greater than the on-time period of the constant on-time signal, the control signal can vary according to the constant off-time signal.
