Abstract
A control method for a power converter is provided. The power converter includes an inductor, and a switch selectively turned on according to a control signal. The control method includes determining an on-time and a falling time according to a voltage information or a current information of the power converter; determining a switching period of the control signal according to the on-time, the falling time, and a resonant period corresponding to the inductor and a parasitic capacitance of the switch; adjusting the switching period by comparing the switching period with a first threshold period and a second threshold period; generating the control signal having the switching period when the switching period is greater than the first threshold period and less than the second threshold period or when the switching period is greater than the second threshold period and the power converter operates at over 50% of a rated power.
