Abstract:
A DC-to-DC controller, a DC-to-DC power converter and a control method thereof are provided. The controller is coupled to an upper-bridge switch and a lower-bridge switch and includes a time generation unit providing a time signal, a voltage identification (VID) change determining circuit and a time control circuit. The VID change determining circuit provides a determination signal in response to a VID signal. The time control circuit provides a control signal according to the time signal and the determination signal. When the VID signal changes from high to low, the time control circuit turns off the upper-bridge switch for a first preset time according to the determination signal and the time signal, and during the first preset time, the time control circuit controls the lower-bridge switch to be turned on for a second preset time multiple times, and to be turned off for a third preset time multiple times.

Claim (Index 8):
A control method of a DC-to-DC power converter, for controlling an upper-bridge switch and a lower-bridge switch, the method comprising:\n determining whether a VID signal changes from high to low to provide a determination signal by a VID change determining circuit; providing a control signal to the upper-bridge switch and the lower-bridge switch according to a time signal and the determination signal by a time control circuit; turning off the upper-bridge switch for a first preset time by the time control circuit; and during the first preset time, turning on the lower-bridge switch for a second preset time multiple times and turning off the lower-bridge switch for a third preset time multiple times by the time control circuit, wherein the second preset time is greater than the third preset time.
