Abstract

An adaptive pulse width control power conversion device includes a pulse width adjustable pulse frequency module (PFM) control circuit, a pulse width modulation (PWM) control circuit, a PWM/PFM switching unit, a switching circuit, and a load status detection circuit. When the power conversion device is to be switched from a PWM mode to a PFM mode, pulse width of a series of PFM control signals is sequentially adjusted from a low value to a high value according to a predetermined pulse width increment until an optimum pulse width is determined and thereafter, an output voltage is supplied to a load in the PFM mode, whereby ripple of output voltage in the PFM mode can be improved and improved stability of output of the power conversion device is realized.
