Abstract:
A switching regulator having adjustable inductor current threshold employs a control method which includes: (S 1 ) determining whether an output voltage is greater than a reference voltage or determining whether a switching frequency of the power stage is smaller than a predetermined lower frequency limit, and (S 2 ) when it is determined yes in the step (S 1 ), adjusting the inductor current threshold, such that the switching regulator operates under a pseudo discontinuous conduction mode (PDCM) wherein the switching frequency is not smaller than the predetermined lower frequency limit. Consequently, when the switching regulator operates under a light load mode, an optimum balance between a total power consumption and switching noise interference will be ensured.

Claim (Index 2):
The control method of the switching regulator of  claim 1 , wherein the step (S 2 ) further includes: lowering down the inductor current threshold to be smaller than zero.
