In a DC-to-DC converter control circuit and control method thereof, an
arithmetic circuit for outputs an add-up signal generated by adding an
output voltage signal obtained by adding an output voltage of a DC-to-DC
converter and an AC current signal obtained according to an AC current
component of a coil current, and a comparator compares the add-up signal
with a reference signal. Switching control is executed according to a
result of the comparison by the comparator. By the control circuit and
method, variations in the coil current due to a change in load may be
reliably captured by comparing the add-up signal with the reference
signal, and compatibility between low ripple voltage characteristics and
stable and fast response to sudden changes in load may be achieved.
