Abstract:
A power converter comprises a first switch and a second switch connected in series between an input power source and ground, an inductor connected between a common node of the first switch and the second switch, and an output capacitor and a comparator having a first input connected to a reference, a second input configured to receive a sum of a first feedback signal and a second feedback signal and an output configured to generate a turn-on signal of the first switch, wherein the first feedback signal is proportional to an voltage across the output capacitor and the second feedback signal is generated by applying at least one low-pass filter to a switching ripple voltage.

Claim (Index 11):
A method comprising:\n applying a hysteretic control mode to a power converter; monitoring an output voltage of the power converter and configuring the power converter to operate in a minimum switching frequency mode when the output voltage of the power converter exceeds a rising threshold of a first comparator; in the minimum switching frequency mode, configuring the power converter to operate in a turn-off mode when the output voltage of the power converter exceeds a rising threshold of a second comparator and configuring the power converter to operate in the hysteretic control mode when the output voltage of the power converter drops below a falling threshold of the first comparator; and in the turn-off mode, configuring the power converter to operate in the minimum switching frequency mode when the output voltage of the power converter drops below a falling threshold of the second comparator.
