Abstract

Disclosed are a switching regulator and a control circuit and a control method therefor. In one embodiment, by means of controlling a rectifying switch in a power stage with a second control signal which has a predetermined frequency and varies in accordance with the difference between a feedback voltage and a reference voltage, more energy may be shunted when a switching regulator operates in a light loaded or unloaded condition, so that audio noise is avoided.
