Ultra Fast Fixed-Frequency Hysteretic Buck Converter With Maximum Charging Current Control and Adaptive Delay Compensation for DVS Applications

An integrated DC-DC hysteretic buck converter with ultrafast adaptive output transient response for reference tracking is presented. To achieve the fastest up-tracking speed, the maximum charging current control is introduced to charge up the output voltage with the maximum designed current. For down-tracking, the output is discharged by the load only to save energy. Although the converter works with hysteretic voltage mode control, an adaptive delay compensation scheme is employed to keep the switching frequency constant at 850 kHz to within plusmn2.5% across the whole operation range. The integrated buck converter was fabricated using a 0.35 mum CMOS process. With an input voltage of 3 V, the output voltage can be regulated between 0.5 and 2.5 V. With a load resistor of 10 Omega, the up-tracking speed of the maximum reference step (0.5 to 2.5 V) is 12.5 mus/V. All design features are verified by extensive measurements.     

New simple square-rooting circuits based on translinear current conveyors

Two new square-rooting circuits, based on second-generation current-controlled current conveyors (CCCIIs), are presented. The first square-rooting circuit consists of two CCCIIs, one current-controlled resistor and two grounded resistors. The input signal of the first circuit is a voltage, and output is the voltage proportional to the square root of input voltage. The second one consists of two CCCIIs and a current-controlled resistor. In the second circuit, the input signal is a current, and output is the current proportional to the square root of input current. Each circuit realizes by using a current-mode technique; hence the proposed square-rooting circuits are simple circuitry, wide dynamic range and wide bandwidth. The proposed square-rooting circuits were confirmed by using PSPICE simulation.     

Open-loop power-stage transfer functions relevant to current-mode control of boost PWM converter operating in CCM

This paper presents the analysis of open-loop power-stage dynamics relevant to current-mode control for a boost pulsewidth-modulated (PWM) dc-dc converter operating in continuous-conduction mode (CCM). The transfer functions from input voltage to inductor current, from duty cycle to inductor current, and from output current to inductor current are derived. The delay from the MOSFET gate drive to the duty cycle is modeled using a first-order Pade/spl acute/ approximation. The derivations are performed using an averaged linear small-signal circuit model of the boost converter for CCM. The transfer functions can be used in modeling the complete boost PWM converter when current-mode control is used. The theory was in excellent agreement with the experimental results, enforcing the validity of the transfer functions derived.

A Current-Mode Circuit With a Linearized Input V/I Conversion Scheme and the Realization of a 2-V/2.5-V Operational, 100-MS/s, MOS SHA

This paper proposes a circuit to linearize the signal current and improve the distortion characteristics at the input of a current-mode circuit. Input voltage-to-current (V/I) conversion is carried out by a resistor that connects the signal source and the current input terminal of the current-mode circuit. The signal current flowing into the current-mode circuit through this resistor is distorted because of the signal-dependent voltage change at the current input terminal, and it is linearized by injecting a current that is proportional to the signal-dependent voltage change at the current input terminal, into the same current input terminal of the current-mode circuit. A current-mode sample-and-hold amplifier (SHA) that adopts the proposed scheme was fabricated and a 0.35-$mu{hbox {m}}$ CMOS process was used to verify the effectiveness of the scheme. It operated from a 2-V supply voltage in the analog part and a 2.5 V in the digital part with a 100-MHz clock and realized a 77- and a 86-dB spurious-free dynamic range values for 0 and $-$10 dB of full-scale signal current level $(pm hbox{100} mu{hbox {A}})$, respectively, of the 1-MHz signal input. More than a 13-bit equivalent SFDR for $-$14 to $-$4 dB of full-scale input was obtained, proving the effectiveness of the proposed scheme at realizing distortionless signal current processing.      

Voltage loop of boost PWM DC-DC converters with peak current-mode control

A new transfer function from control voltage to duty cycle, the closed-current loop, which captures the natural sampling effect is used to design a controller for the voltage-loop of a pulsewidth modulated (PWM) dc-dc converter operating in continuous-conduction mode (CCM) with peak current-mode control (PCM). This paper derives the voltage loop gain and the closed-loop transfer function from reference voltage to output voltage. The closed-loop transfer function from the input voltage to the output voltage, or the closed-loop audio-susceptibility is derived. The closed-loop transfer function from output current to output voltage, or the closed loop output impedance is also derived. The derivation is performed using an averaged small-signal model of the example boost converter for CCM. Experimental verification is presented. The theoretical and experimental results were in good agreement, confirming the validity of the transfer functions derived.

A Control Circuit With Load-Current Injection for Single-Phase Power-Factor-Correction Rectifiers

A load-current-injection control technique for boost-derived power-factor-correction (PFC) rectifiers with average current-mode control is proposed in this paper. By adding a load-current loop to the conventional inductor current loop, the output voltage response to load steps is speeded up, almost eliminating the typical voltage overshoots of this kind of converters. Although the techniques based on the load-current injection are traditionally called "load feedforward," this paper shows that an additional feedback loop, which modifies the linear small-signal model of the converter, is also introduced. In order to validate the concept, a converter prototype working from a universal input line has been designed and tested, showing that a very fast dynamic response of PFC rectifiers may be achieved in a cost-effective way

Interleaved converters operation based on CMC

A new family of low-ripple DC-to-DC switching converters based on a parallel connection of N-identical boost converters with current-mode control (CMC) is presented. The CMC strategy ensures that all the converters operate at the same duty cycle, sharing an equal amount of input current and forcing the output voltage to be an integer multiple (N) of the input voltage. As a result, the total input current and output voltage ripples are extremely low. The generation of control signals from inductor currents feedback without using external triangular or sawtooth signals is another characteristic of the new converter family     

Application of novel D/sup 2/T control to single-switch two-output switching power converters

A novel method for programming current in dc/dc converters operating in discontinuous conduction mode is described in this paper. The control variable is the product of the square of the duty cyle and the switching period, i.e., D/sup 2/T, which is directly proportional to input and output currents of a discontinuous-mode converter. A method of controlling D/sup 2/T is applied to converters that utilize one switch (or one set of synchronous switches) for achieving two control functions. In particular a single-switch two-output boost converter, in which a continuous-mode converter and a discontinuous-mode converter share one active switch, is studied. In this system, current-mode control is used to regulate the output voltage of the continuous-mode converter and the proposed D/sup 2/T control is used to regulate the other discontinuous-mode converter. The result is a generic current-mode controlled two-output converter.

Novel Current-Mode AC/AC Converters With High-Frequency AC Link

A novel circuit-topology family of the current-mode AC/AC converter with high-frequency AC link, based on a Flyback converter, is proposed. These circuit topologies, which can transfer one unregulated sinusoidal voltage with high total harmonic distortion (THD) into another regulated constant-frequency sinusoidal voltage with low THD, are composed of input cycloconverter, high-frequency storage transformer, and output cycloconverter. The circuit-topology family includes single four-quadrant power switch mode, push-pull mode, half-bridge mode, and full-bridge mode circuits. The single four-quadrant power switch mode and push-pull mode converters are suitable for low input voltage fields, but the half-bridge mode and full-bridge mode converters are suitable for high input voltage fields. The operational mode, steady principle, and transient voltage feedback control strategy of the kind of converter are investigated. The output characteristic curve, its relation to internal resistance, and the design criteria for the key circuit parameters are given. The theoretical analysis and the test result of the 500 VA 220 V 15% 50 HzAC/220 V 50 HzAC prototype have shown that the converters have advantages such as high-frequency galvanic isolation, simple topology, two-stage power conversion [low frequency alternating current (LFAC)/high frequency alternating current (HFAC)/LFAC], bidirectional power flow, high efficiency, high power density, low THD of the output voltage, strong adaptability to various loads, higher line power factor, low audio noise, etc.     

Two Types of KY Buck–Boost Converters

A novel voltage-bucking/boosting converter, named as KY buck–boost converter (i.e., 2D converter), is presented herein. Unlike the traditional buck–boost converter, this converter possesses fast transient responses, similar to the behavior of the buck converter with synchronous rectification. In addition, it possesses the nonpulsating output current, thereby not only decreasing the current stress on the output capacitor but also reducing the output voltage ripple. Furthermore, it has the positive output voltage, different from the negative output voltage of the traditional buck–boost converter. Above all, there are two types of KY buck–boost converters presented herein. In this paper, the basic operating principles of the proposed converters are first illustrated in detail, and second, some experimental results are offered to verify the effectiveness of the proposed topologies.
