Referring to FIG. 8, an output waveform (Original) of a DC-DC converter according to a conventional pulse skipping method and an output waveform of a DC-DC converter according to a pulse skipping method according to an embodiment of the present invention are shown have. Comparing the conventional pulse skipping method and the pulse skipping method according to the embodiment of the present invention, it can be seen that the number of switching times is remarkably reduced. Therefore, it is expected that the pulse skipping scheme according to the embodiment of the present invention has a reduction effect of the switching operation, as the number of switching times is reduced. Specifically, in the conventional pulse skipping method, 16 switching operations have occurred. However, it can be seen that seven switching operations have occurred in the pulse skipping method proposed in the present invention. However, in the pulse skipping method proposed in the present invention, the ripple phenomenon seems to be increased as compared with the conventional method, but this is merely an example for clearly showing the difference in the switching frequency. Therefore, the added pulse width (the delay time in the above- The ripple phenomenon can be removed to some extent.
The embodiments of the present invention have been described above. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims. Therefore, the disclosed embodiments should be considered in an illustrative rather than a restrictive sense. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims rather than by the foregoing description, and all differences within the scope of equivalents thereof should be construed as being included in the present invention.
