Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A control circuit for controlling a switching circuit is disclosed. The control circuit has a ramp compensation circuit, a ramp regulating circuit and a comparison circuit. The ramp compensation circuit generates a ramp compensation signal with the amplitude proportional to the difference between 1 and the duty cycle of a main switch of the switching circuit. The ramp regulating circuit generates a ramp regulating signal with the amplitude proportional to the duty cycle of the main switch. The comparison circuit compares a reference signal with the sum of the ramp compensation signal, the ramp regulating signal and a feedback signal representative of an output voltage of the switching circuit, so as to provide a comparison result to control the switching circuit.
