ABSTRACT:
A current-mode control system for a switching power supply which provides logarithmic compensation to a peak primary current of a variable frequency, fully discontinuous switching power supply. A ramp voltage generator generates a ramp voltage that is furnished to a control circuit. The control circuit compares the voltage level of the ramp signal to the voltage level of a control voltage. The control voltage is provided by an error amplifier and is a function of an output voltage of the converter. The control circuit allows a primary switching current to exist in the converter until the ramp voltage renders the control voltage. The ramp voltage logarithmically compensates the peak of the primary current by adjusting the ramp voltage. This logarithmic compensation provides a relatively constant output power over a large input voltage range.
