METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR A CONTROL CIRCUIT WITH MULTIPLE OPERATING MODES
First Claim
1. A controller for use in a power converter, the controller comprising:
- an oscillator to be coupled to a switch of the power converter to determine a switching cycle period of the switch; and
means for controlling a duty cycle of the switch to regulate an output of the power converter and for maintaining a substantially constant rate of change of the duty cycle with respect to changes in a magnitude of a feedback signal as the controller transitions between a first duty cycle control mode and a second duty cycle control mode such that a control loop gain of the power converter is substantially constant during the transition.

Abstract
An example controller for use in a power converter includes an oscillator that is to be coupled to a switch of the power converter to determine a switching cycle period of the switch. The controller also includes means for controlling a duty cycle of the switch to regulate an output of the power converter and for maintaining a substantially constant rate of change of the duty cycle with respect to changes in a magnitude of a feedback signal as the controller transitions between duty cycle control modes such that a control loop gain of the power converter is substantially constant during the transition.
