A fixed-frequency current mode converter comprises a power stage to
produce an inductor current and an output voltage, an error amplifier to
generate an error signal from the difference between the output voltage
and a reference voltage varied with the inductor current, a comparator to
compare the error signal with a ramp signal varied with the inductor
current to generate a comparison signal, and a PWM generator to generate
a PWM signal in response to a fixed-frequency clock and the comparison
signal to drive the power stage. A second comparator is further comprised
to compare the error signal with a second reference voltage varied with
the inductor current, and generates a second comparison signal to reset
the clock when the error signal is lower than the second reference
voltage.
