A control circuit and method are proposed to generate a control signal to operate a buck-boost power stage of a buck-boost power converter to convert an input voltage to an output voltage. The control circuit and method detect the output voltage to generate an error signal, control the frequency of two ramp signals according to the error signal, generate two pulse width modulation signals according to the error signal and the two ramp signals, and generate the control signal according to the two pulse width modulation signals. When the loading of the buck-boost power converter transits from heavy to light, the frequency of the two ramp signals is decreased to improve the efficiency of the buck-boost power converter. The peaks and valleys of the two ramp signals may be adjusted by signals related to the input voltage and the output voltage.
