发明名称 Apparatus and method for soft-start mode transition in a switching regulator
摘要 A regulator is provided. The regulator is a PWM-based switching regulator with soft-start. The regulator starts up with non-synchronously-rectified regulation. A soft-start done signal is asserted after soft-start is finished. In one embodiment, the soft-start done signal is asserted at about 150% of the soft-start time. After the soft-start done signal has been asserted, the regulator changes from non-synchronously-rectified regulation to synchronously-rectified regulation if a pre-determined period of time occurs with no zero-crossing in the inductor current. In one embodiment, the pre-determined period of time is one switching cycle. In some embodiments, the “zero-crossing” of the inductor current is slightly different from zero, such as −0.5 A.
