The present invention relates to a converter and a driving method thereof.
The converter uses an input voltage to generate an output voltage by a
main switch's switching and applies power to a load, senses the current
flowing to the main switch to generate a sense voltage, uses a first
voltage corresponding to the current applied to the load and a sawtooth
waveform signal having a first frequency to control a group frequency of
the burst mode, controls the main switch's turn-on timing, and uses the
first voltage and the sense voltage to determine whether to turn off the
main switch, thereby controlling the main switch's switching. The
converter determines the start and end of the period for switching
according to the result of comparing the first voltage and the sawtooth
waveform signal. Therefore, a converter for having a constant group
frequency, preventing audible noise, and preventing output voltage
ripple, and a driving method thereof, are provided.
