Abstract

A switching frequency controller, a voltage converter, and a method are used for controlling switching frequency. The switching frequency controller includes a frequency divider, a frequency detector, an accumulation counter, and an on-time controller. The frequency divider generates a divisional signal having a divisional frequency according to an input signal having a target frequency. The target frequency is 2N times of the divisional frequency. The frequency detector receives the divisional frequency and a switching control signal, and calculate a number of periods that pass by during each cycle of the divisional signal. The number of periods is represented by (N+1) bits. The accumulation counter increases or decreases a control indication value by a predetermined value according to a most significant bit of the number of periods. The on-time controller adjusts an on-time length of the switching control signal according to the control indication value.
