Abstract
A control circuit operates to control a switching stage of an electronic converter. The control circuit includes: first terminals providing drive signals to electronic switches of the switching stage; a second terminal receiving from a feedback circuit a first feedback signal proportional to a converter output voltage; and a third terminal configured to receive from a current sensor a second feedback signal proportional to an inductor current. A driver circuit provides the drive signals as a function of a PWM signal generated by a generator circuit as a function of the first and second feedback signals, a reference voltage and a slope compensation signal. A mode selection signal is generated as a function of a comparison between the input voltage and the output voltage. A feed-forward compensation circuit is configured to source and/or sink a compensation current as a function of a variation in the mode selection signal.
