The stacking MOSFET structure composed of low-voltage devices suffers from deteriorated transient response or large footprint area when capacitor-free or dominant pole compensation low dropout (LDO) regulator biases the driver. Due to self-stabilized feature, the proposed stacking MOSFET driving (SMD) technique effectively drives the power stage and greatly reduces noise interference from the noisy...
Advanced CMOS devices below 28nm allow supply voltages lower than 1V. For applications with higher input voltage in such devices, stacked MOSFET structures with a three-level technology are commonly employed. The stacked structure can also reduce the output voltage ripple substantially. Figure 10.5.1 shows a three-level single-inductor triple-output (SITO) converter and also compares the transient...
Conventional hybrid supply modulator for envelope tracking (ET) technique requires the linear amplifier to track a RF envelop signal with the help of switching converter to provide average power for high efficiency. Any distortion caused by resistive and inaccurate current sensing will result in increase of power loss and Error Vector Magnitude (EVM). Thus, a lossless inductor current control (LICC)...
Compact size wearable devices require multiple supplies with relative large loading difference, which causes serious cross regulation, large ripple, and oscillation in single-inductor multiple-output (SIMO) DC–DC converter. Thus, a continuous conduction mode/green mode (CCM/GM) relative skip energy control (RSEC) in SIMO is proposed for wearable device power solution. Different from the conventional...
Lighting flicker, a rapid and repeated change over time in the brightness of light, has long been known to cause illness in humans that ranges from headaches to seizures. Thus, [1] has specified the dimming frequency, fDIM, larger than 3kHz to achieve a no-observable-effect flicker level. State-of-the-art LED drivers employ the SIMO topology with four channels in Fig. 12.7.1, to deliver energy to...
Constant-on-time (COT) control with an additional current feedback in conventional buck converter has the advantage of using low equivalent series resistance (ESR) output capacitor. Unfortunately, the disadvantage is output voltage regulation accuracy is greatly deteriorated by its DC offset voltage from the current feedback. More seriously, opposite reaction between output voltage and the additional...
Single-inductor multiple-output (SIMO) DC-DC buck converters, which possess the advantage of compact size, are commonly implemented in portable electronics like mobile phones and tablets. However, their power efficiency is degraded considerably, as illustrated in Fig. 12.6.1, when multiple outputs are requested in a wide range, such as 1.2 to 3.3V for tablets. The use of P-MOSFET [1][2] and N-MOSFET...
A buck/boost supply modulator (BBSM) is proposed for 4G LTE RF power amplifier (RF-PA) envelope tracking applications. The H-bridges used in non-inverting buck/boost converters are metamorphosed into the current sources and switches of a 4-bit current-steering DAC-like supply modulator. Fast tracking speed is achieved through its inherent open-loop topology, while the direct digital interface provides...
Conventional constant-on-time (COT) control for DC-DC buck converter is apt to be affected by the noise caused by parasitic effect including not properly specified and temperature dependent equivalent series resistance (ESR) and equivalent series inductance (ESL). As a result, the safety operation area (SOA) of the COT is limited by the selection of external components. In this paper, the calibrated...
The conventional voltage-mode hysteretic buck converters have the merit of fast response and yet stable operation. However, such merits cannot be extended to its counterpart boost converters. This is so simply because the waveforms of the input current and output voltage of buck version are in-phase, but they are out-of-phase in the boost version. This led to the development of several excellent hysteretic...
