Abstract:
A power converter includes an input node that receives an input voltage and a control loop that regulates an output voltage of the power converter. The power converter also includes a comparison voltage generation circuit that generates a comparison voltage based on an operating point of the power converter. The power converter also includes a first comparator that compares a control loop voltage in the control loop with the comparison voltage and generates a control signal. The power converter also includes a mode control circuit that transitions the power converter from the low power operating mode to a first operating mode using the control signal. The output voltage is regulated in both the first operating mode and the low power operating mode.

Claim (Index 9):
A power converter comprising:\n a control loop that regulates an output of the power converter; a periodic signal generator in the control loop that is operable to generate a periodic signal that is converted into a drive signal that controls switching of a power switching circuit of the power converter to control transfer of power from an input node of the power converter to an output node of the power converter, wherein in a first operating mode of the power converter the periodic signal generator is enabled to generate the periodic signal, and in a low power operating mode of the power converter the periodic signal generator is disabled from generating the periodic signal during portions of respective switching periods of the power switching circuit based on i) measurements of current between the power switching circuit and the output node of the power converter, and ii) a signal corresponding to a new period of the periodic signal; a comparison voltage generation circuit that generates a comparison voltage based on an operating point of the power converter; a first comparator that compares a control loop voltage in the control loop with the comparison voltage to generate a control signal, wherein the control loop voltage is an error voltage of the power converter; and a mode control circuit that transitions the power converter from the low power operating mode to the first operating mode based on the control signal; wherein the output of the power converter is regulated in both the first operating mode and the low power operating mode.
