In certain embodiments, output-stage circuit 6 also includes electric capacity CL.Second end of inductance L is also connected with The first end of electric capacity CL, and second end of electric capacity CL then connects ground terminal GND.In this, inductance L It is the output end of output-stage circuit 6 with the connection end of electric capacity CL, and its connection signal output part.Inductance L LC smoothing circuits are constituted with electric capacity CL, to provide the output voltage Vout of advection.
In certain embodiments, first switch circuit 601 includes PMOS (P-channel Metal Oxide Semiconductor, p-type gold oxygen half) transistor MP1 and NMOS (N-channel Metal Oxide Semiconductor, N-type gold oxygen half) transistor MN1.The grid (first of PMOS transistor MP1 First control end of on-off circuit 601) connection drive circuit 5 the first output end, and PMOS crystal Source electrode (input of first switch circuit 601) the connection power end of pipe MP1.Nmos pass transistor Second output of grid (the second control end of first switch circuit 601) the connection drive circuit 5 of MN1 End, and the source electrode of nmos pass transistor MN1 connection ground terminal GND.The drain electrode of PMOS transistor MP1, The drain electrode of nmos pass transistor MN1 is commonly connected to contact SW (first switches with the first end of inductance L The output end of circuit 601).In other words, PMOS transistor MP1 be connected to power end and inductance L it Between, and it is used for providing a charging current path.Nmos pass transistor MN1 be connected to ground terminal GND and Between inductance L, and it is used for providing a discharge current path.

Formula 7
From equation 7 above, in practice, switch periods Tsw is changed with load current Io.
For the unstable problems of switch periods Tsw, in ON time control circuit 1 ', with threshold value electricity Press signal D*VIN*k to replace output voltage Vout of the prior art, and then obtain Ton time-count cycle Such as following formula 8.
Formula 8
Arithmetic expression further according to switch periods Tsw can obtain following formula 9.
Formula 9
From equation 9 above, switch periods Tsw is constant (kRC).
For example, Ton time-count cycle is changed, i.e. Ton=D*t as dutycycle D changes, its Middle time t is pre-set and changeless.Now, switch periods Tsw=D/Ton=1/t.When negative When the amount of load or its required magnitude of current change (that is, load current changes), backfeed loop (feedback Loop dutycycle D) can be adjusted with provide meet load current change new dutycycle D '.Due to dutycycle D ' is changed into by D, time-count cycle, Ton can also change over new Ton ' time-count cycle=D ' * t, and now Switch periods can be represented with following formula:Tsw '=D '/Ton '=1/t.Therefore, no matter how dutycycle D changes, Switch periods Tsw keeps constant.No matter that is, how the amount or its required magnitude of current of load change Become, switch periods Tsw can keep constant.
