    摘要: An emulated current generation circuit of a power converting circuit, providing an emulated current includes an AC component current and a DC component current, includes a first current circuit, a second current circuit, a combination circuit and a calibration circuit. The first current circuit generates a ramp signal as the AC component current. The second current circuit is coupled to an output stage of power converting circuit to provide a sensing current. The DC component current is generated after performing a sample-and-hold processing on the sensing current. The combination circuit is coupled to the first current circuit and second current circuit respectively to combine the AC component current and DC component current into an emulated sensing current. The calibration circuit is coupled to the first current circuit, second current circuit and combination circuit to dynamically adjust the ramp signal according to the emulated sensing current and sensing current.

    摘要: A system comprises a first comparator, a second comparator, a pulse-width modulation (PWM) controller, and a ramp generator. The first comparator has a positive input coupled to a first ramp output of the ramp generator and a negative input configured to receive an input voltage. The second comparator has a positive input configured to receive the input voltage and a negative input coupled to a second ramp output of the ramp generator. The PWM controller is coupled to outputs and control signal inputs of the first and second comparators and has a control output. In some implementations, the ramp generator generates a high-side falling ramp for the first comparator and a low-side rising ramp for the second comparator. In some implementations, the ramp generator includes a first ramp generator for the high-side falling ramp and a second ramp for the low-side rising ramp.

    摘要: Various aspects of the disclosure are directed to methods and apparatuses involving providing a clock signal. As consistent with one or more embodiments herein, a sawtooth waveform signal is generated in a manner that facilitates low power operation. In some implementations, the sawtooth waveform signal is generated using an oscillator that operates without necessarily employing R-C circuits and/or without rail-to-rail voltage supply, such as via a nonlinear oscillator. The sawtooth waveform signal is used to generate a trapezoidal waveform signal, and a clock signal is generated using the trapeziodal waveform signal.
