Abstract

The disclosure provides a method for controlling an equivalent resistance of a converter. The method includes receiving a power source input signal, generating a first control signal according to a voltage level and a state of the power source input signal to adjust an equivalent resistance of the voltage conversion module and cause the voltage conversion module to operate in the damper mode or the converter mode, when the voltage conversion module operates in the converter mode converting the power source input signal to an output signal, and when the voltage conversion module operates in the damper mode detecting the voltage level or the current level of the power source input signal, and adjusting the equivalent resistance so that the voltage conversion module could operate in the bleeder mode or the converter mode to convert the power source input signal to the output signal.
