    摘要: A switching power converter including an upper-bridge switch, a lower-bridge switch, an impedance circuit, a first control circuit, a second control circuit and a logic circuit is provided. The impedance circuit generates an output voltage and a sensing current according to a conductive state of the upper-bridge switch and the lower-bridge switch. The first control circuit generates a first pulse signal according to the output voltage. The second control circuit has a first mode and a second mode for generating a second pulse signal and a third pulse signal individually. Furthermore, the second control circuit uses different threshold values in different modes to determine whether to switch the mode thereof, so as to form a hysteretic effect in mode switching. The logic circuit controls the upper-bridge switch by the first pulse signal, and controls the lower-bridge switch by the second pulse signal or the third pulse signal.

    摘要: A DC-DC converter used to convert an input voltage to an output voltage is disclosed. The DC-DC converter comprises a pulse-width-modulation (PWM) generator, a transient boost circuit, a logic circuit, a switching device, and a buck circuit. The pulse-width-modulation (PWM) generator generates a PWM signal according to the output voltage. The transient boost circuit generates an adjusting signal according to the variation of the output voltage. The logic circuit generates a switch signal according to the PWM signal and the adjusting signal. The switching signal is at a high level when the PWM signal or the adjusting signal is at the high level, and the switching signal is at a low level when the PWM signal and the adjusting signal are at the low level. The switching device converts the input voltage to a driving signal according to the switching signal. The buck circuit receives the driving signal to generate the output voltage.
