These days, constant on-time current mode (COTCM) control scheme is widely used in the voltage regulator (VR) controllers because it has a higher light-load efficiency and a higher BW design capability while maintaining a simpler compensation requirement. One issue plaguing the COTCM control is its slow transient response which is caused by its fixed TON operation. During the heavy-load step-up transient,...
Non-linear single-cycle load transient improvement structures are proposed for current-mode controlled converters. Two popular variable-frequency current-mode controls are Constant On-Time (COT) and Ramp Pulse Modulation (RPM) due to their fast transient response. However, conventional COT and RPM both need multiple steps to increase the inductor current during load step-up transient. The fastest...
These days inductor current ripple based ‘current mode constant on time (CMCOT)’ control is widely used in voltage regulators (VRs) for its higher light load efficiency, higher bandwidth and simple compensation network. In today's VRs, high load current with very high slew rate is a very common requirement in microprocessor or memory applications. One issue of this ripple based CMCOT control is that,...
This paper presents a new current mode control using charge control concept to improve the performances of the constant on time control. These days, constant on time control is widely used in VR applications for its higher light load efficiency and higher bandwidth design capability. In this constant on time configuration, inductor current ripple based current mode control is very popular in today's...
A new equivalent circuit model is presented to predict the small-signal characteristic of current-mode control with DCR current sensing accurately, and a simple auto-tuning method is proposed to solve the issue of time constant mismatch in DCR current sensing. The model shows that the mismatch between the current sensing RC network and the output inductor makes the output impedance deviate away from...
V2 control is a popular control architecture in point-of-load Buck converters due to its simplicity and fast transient response. V2 control with ceramic capacitor has instability issue. This paper reviews the existing solutions and their limitations are studied. A solution using output capacitor current ramp to stabilize the control loop is proposed. The analog capacitor current sensing method based...
