US Patent 10418908 Controller with variable sampling generator

A controller for use in a switched mode power converter includes a comparator coupled to compare an output sense signal representative of an output of the switched mode power converter to a target value. An update clock generator is coupled to generate a clock signal having a clock frequency in response to the output sense signal. A request control is coupled to generate a request signal having a request frequency in response to an output of the comparator and the clock signal to control an operational state of a power switch of the switched mode power converter. A speed at which the request control updates the request frequency of the request signal is responsive to the clock frequency of the clock signal.
