Duty Cycle Adjusting Circuit and Adjusting Method

Abstract

The present invention relates to a square wave generator circuit, an integrated circuit, a DC/DC converter and an AC/DC converter. The square wave generator circuit comprises a first mirror current branch which is connected with ground via a first switching element and a first capacitor in parallel with the first switching element, wherein the first switching element is operable to be opened or closed periodically under control of a first clock signal so as to generate a first sawtooth wave signal at a non-grounded terminal of the first capacitor; a second mirror current branch which is connected with ground via a second switching element and a second capacitor in parallel with the second switching element, wherein the second switching element is operable to be opened or closed periodically under control of a second clock signal synchronous with the first clock signal so as to generate a second sawtooth wave signal at a non-grounded terminal of the second capacitor; and a comparator, one input terminal of which is connected to the non-grounded terminal of the first capacitor and the other input terminal of which is connected to the non-grounded terminal of the second capacitor, so that a square wave signal can be outputted at an output terminal of the comparator, wherein a duty cycle of the square wave signal depends on a ratio of a capacitance of the second capacitor to a capacitance of the first capacitor.
