Operation method of a multi-mode controller applied to a power converter

An operation method of a multi-mode controller applied to a power converter, wherein the multi-mode controller comprises a detection range generation module and a gate signal generation unit, and the detection range generation module comprises a current source, a capacitor, a metal-oxide-semiconductor transistor, a first comparison unit, a second comparison unit, and a logic unit, the operation method comprising:

• the current source providing a reference current;
• the capacitor generating a comparison voltage according to the reference current;
• the first comparison unit generating a detection signal according to the comparison voltage and a first reference voltage;
• the second comparison unit generating a continuous-conduction mode signal according to the comparison voltage and a second reference voltage;
• the logic unit turning on the metal-oxide-semiconductor transistor to disable the detection signal according to the continuous-conduction mode signal or a zero-crossing signal;
• the gate signal generation unit generating a gate control signal corresponding to a quasi-resonant mode of the power converter according to the zero-crossing signal when the detection signal is disabled by the zero-crossing signal;
• and
• the gate signal generation unit generating the gate control signal corresponding to the continuous-conduction mode of the power converter according to the continuous-conduction mode signal when the detection signal is disabled by the continuous-conduction mode signal according to the comparison voltage and the second reference voltage.
