摘要： A switching converter controller and method for controlling a switch-mode converter in a hybrid discontinuous conduction mode (DCM)/continuous conduction mode (CCM) mode are disclosed. The hybrid mode involves using double (two) or more switching pulses in a switching period of a control signal for controlling the switch-mode converter. The switching period is defined by a switch on-time duration, a switch off-time duration, and an N number of switching pulses. N is an integer greater than one. An inductor current through the inductor of the switch-mode converter is zero before an initial switching pulse, is zero after a last switching pulse, and is non-zero for all other times within the switching period. The switch-mode-converter controller can be used as a power factor correction controller for a power factor corrector. The switch-mode converter controller can be implemented on a single integrated circuit.

摘要： An integrated circuit including at least one internal operational block, which includes test control circuitry for initiating a test mode and testing circuitry for verifying an operation of the integrated circuit under a more stringent condition in the test mode as compared to a condition in another operating mode such that proper operation of the integrated circuit is assured in the another operating mode. Pin control circuitry selectively outputs a test signal from a selected pin in the test mode indicative of the operation of the internal block, wherein the selected pin is utilized for exchanging another signal when the integrated circuit is in the another operating mode.

摘要： A switch-mode converter controller and method utilizes a comparator for receiving and comparing a sensed current and a peak current that is determined by a product of a multiplying factor, that is greater than or equal to two, and a target current. A finite state machine (FSM) is configured to operate the switch-mode converter in a discontinuous conduction mode (DCM). Responsive to the comparator, the FSM turns on the switch and observes an on-time duration of the switch until the sensed current reaches the peak current; calculates a switching period responsive to the peak current and the observed on-time duration; and varies the switching period responsive to the on-time duration and the multiplying factor such that an average of the sensed current equals the target current. The FSM can also be configured to alternatively operate the switch-mode converter in a continuous conduction mode (CCM).
