Abstract:
A switching converter includes a power stage that receives an input voltage for converting it into an output voltage and provides a load current to a load operably coupled to the power stage. The power stage includes a switch providing a switching voltage and a controller comprising an integrator and a comparator with hysteresis and configured to regulate the output voltage to a level proportional to a reference voltage by controlling the switching voltage.

Claim (Index 1):
An apparatus for controlling a switching power supply converting a source voltage into a supply output voltage, wherein said supply output voltage is indicative of a reference voltage, wherein said power supply comprises a switch providing a switching voltage controlled by a control signal, the apparatus comprising:\n a) an integrator characterized by an integration time constant and operable to receive an integrator input signal and to produce an integrator output signal, wherein said integrator output signal is proportional to an antiderivative of said integrator input signal; and b) a Schmitt trigger characterized by a hysteresis gap and operable to receive a Schmitt trigger input signal and to output said control signal; wherein said integrator input signal comprises a first integrator input component proportional to said switching voltage and a second integrator input component proportional to said reference voltage, and wherein said Schmitt trigger input signal comprises a first Schmitt trigger input component proportional to said integrator output signal.
