OFF TIME CONTROL METHOD FOR SWITCHING REGULATOR
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A switching regulator using off time control, comprising:
- a switch; and
a control circuit, controlling the on and off of said switch;
wherein said control circuit compares the current flowing through said switch with a current threshold and turns off said switch when the current flowing through said switch is larger than said current threshold, said control circuit further determines the off time of said switch based on the magnitude of a load; and
said current threshold is variable at light load.

Abstract
The present invention provides an off time control method and switching regulator using it. The current flowing through a switch is compared with a current threshold, and the switch is turned off if the current flowing through the switch is larger than the current threshold. The off time of the switch is determined by the load. The current threshold is variable at light load to prevent generating the audible noise and improve the whole efficiency.
