Abstract

In one embodiment, a switch mode power supply comprising a switch and a control circuit is disclosed. The control circuit may comprise a multi-function pin configured to receive a first current sampling signal and a first voltage sampling signal. A first comparing signal may be provided by comparing the first voltage sampling signal with a first threshold signal when the switch is turned OFF, and a second comparing signal may be provided by comparing the first current sampling signal with a second threshold signal when the switch is turned ON. The control circuit may be configured to control the switch in accordance with the first comparing signal and the second comparing signal.
