Abstract:
A signal converter circuit includes a frequency detection circuit configured to determine whether an external control signal is a PWM signal. A PWM frequency converter circuit is configured to detect, when a PWM signal is input, a duty cycle of the PWM signal and to generate a first digital signal. An AD converter is configured to generate a second digital signal based on an input DC voltage or a voltage attributable to a variable resistor to digital data using a maximum AD convertible input voltage as a duty cycle of 100%. An output signal generation circuit is configured to generate, based on the first or second digital signals output from the PWM frequency converter circuit or the AD converter, a PWM signal with a duty cycle based on that first or second digital signals.

Claim (Index 8):
A power converter comprising:\n a feedback circuit configured to be coupled to a load; and a signal converter circuit configured to receive one of a pulse width modulation signal and a direct-current voltage as an external control signal, and to provide an output signal to the feedback circuit to adjust a threshold used by the feedback circuit to detect an output voltage or an electric current to be supplied to the load, the signal converter circuit providing, as the output signal to the feedback circuit, one of a first output pulse width modulation signal of a predetermined frequency and a second output pulse width modulation signal of the predetermined frequency based on the external control signal.
