Abstract:
A method for controlling a power switch of a power converter includes: detecting whether a zero current event occurs; generating an error signal; generating an ramp signal having a slope proportional to a ratio of an on time during which of the power switch is turned on in a previous switching cycle to a time length of the previous switching cycle; comparing the ramp signal with the error signal; turning on the power switch when the zero current event occurs; and turning off the power switch and rapidly lowering the level of the ramp signal when the ramp signal is greater than or equal to the error signal.

Claim (Index 5):
The method of  claim 3 , wherein the ratio of the on time during which of the power switch ( 113 ) is turned on in the previous switching cycle to the time length of the previous switching cycle is directly proportional to a duty ratio of a control signal (CTL) utilized for controlling the power switch ( 113 ).
