Abstract
A switch mode controller circuit includes: a hysteretic comparator HYST_COMP for monitoring an output of a switch mode circuit; a standard comparator PHASE_COMP for monitoring a phase of the switch mode circuit; a logic block having a first input coupled to a clock signal generator Oscillator, a second input coupled to an output of the hysteretic comparator HYST_COMP, and a third input coupled to an output of the standard comparator PHASE_COMP, wherein the logic block generates switching cycles based on a fixed ON/OFF time during a first part of a cycle and based on a hysteretic control during a second part of the cycle.
