Abstract

See full text

The DC-DC converter includes a reference voltage generating circuit that generates a reference voltage. The DC-DC converter includes a modulation clock signal generating circuit that generates a modulation clock signal. The DC-DC converter includes a modulator that performs modulation of the reference voltage in synchronization with the modulation clock signal and outputs a resulting reference signal. The DC-DC converter includes a first comparator that compares the reference signal and a first feedback signal, which is based on the output voltage, and outputs a signal based on a result of the comparison. The DC-DC converter includes a driver that shapes a waveform of a PWM signal, which is based on the signal output from the first comparator, and outputs the PWM signal with the shaped waveform to the control node.
