For example can become high level signal by low level signal;
Otherwise, continue relatively current digit output voltage and last digit output voltage;
S910: judge that whether the current digit output voltage is greater than the second voltage pre-set limit;
S911: if the current digit output voltage greater than the second voltage pre-set limit, said dynamic control signal becomes effective status by disarmed state;
For example can be for becoming low level signal by high level signal;
Otherwise, continue relatively the current digit output voltage and the second voltage pre-set limit;
S912: compare current digit output voltage and last digit output voltage;
S913: if the current digit output voltage less than the last digit output voltage, counter adds one;
S914: if the current digit output voltage is greater than last digit output voltage, counter O reset;
S915: whether the numerical value of judging counter arrives a preset value;
S916: if the numerical value of counter during greater than a preset value, said dynamic control signal becomes disarmed state by effective status;
For example can be for becoming high level signal by low level signal;
Otherwise, the lasting numerical value of judging counter.
Wherein, said preset value can be 3 or other suitable numerical value, guarantees fully to detect valley or peak value, avoids erroneous detection.
Those skilled in the art can learn, according to instruction of the present invention, can realize the present invention equally based on other suitable digital control methods of basic principle of the present invention.
In sum; More than control circuit and control method according to the switch type regulator of embodiments of the invention have been carried out detailed description, those of ordinary skills can know other technologies or structure and circuit layout, element etc. in view of the above by inference and all can be applicable to said embodiment.The Steady-State Control signal can be pwm control signal or other appropriate control signals, like constant time control signal etc.; Sequential relationship and logical relation can be not limited to embodiments of the invention, and any suitable logical relation all goes for the present invention.Logical circuit or capacitance voltage holding circuit can come to supply respectively peak signal or the utilization of valley signal for two circuit independently, perhaps merge into a single circuit and supply peak signal or valley signal common.
Identical similar part is mutually referring to getting final product between each embodiment in this specification, and each embodiment stresses all is the difference with other embodiment.Can realize the purpose of present embodiment scheme according to the needs selection some or all of module wherein of reality.Those of ordinary skills promptly can understand and implement under the situation of not paying creative work.
As indicated above according to embodiments of the invention, these embodiment do not have all details of detailed descriptionthe, do not limit this invention yet and are merely described specific embodiment.Obviously, according to above description, can do a lot of modifications and variation.These embodiment are chosen and specifically described to this specification, is in order to explain principle of the present invention and practical application better, thereby person skilled can utilize the present invention and the modification on basis of the present invention to use well under making.The present invention only receives the restriction of claims and four corner and equivalent.
