A low noise high efficiency buck DC-DC converter with sigma-delta modulation

Some research efforts to improve the efficiency and noise performance of buck DC-DC converters are explored.A carefully designed power MOSFET driver,including a dead time controller,discontinuous current mode(DCM) controller and gate width controller,is proposed to improve efficiency.Instead of PWM modulation, sigma-delta modulation is introduced into the feedback loop of the converter to move out the clock-referred harmonic spike.The proposed converter has been designed and fabricated by a 0.35μm CMOS process.Measured results show that the peak efficiency of the converter can reach 93%and sigma-delta modulation suppresses the harmonic spike by 30 dB over PWM modulation.     

Sigma-Delta调制及其在低噪声DC-DC变换器的应用

分析了传统PWM调制和Sigma-Delta调制在噪声性能方面的差异,以及它们对DC-DC变换器输出噪声的影响。在Chartered 0.35μm CMOS工艺条件下实现了一个基于二阶Sigma-Delta调制的低噪声DC-DC变换器,并对其中Sigma-Delta调制模块进行了流片验证。测试结果表明,Sigma-Delta调制模块能够将环路带宽内噪声抑制到-50 dB左右,并且未引入与开关频率有关的谐波成分。仿真结果表明,DC-DC变换器输出电压噪底能够达到-60 dB以下。

本论文在提高开关电源效率和降低噪声方面做了一些工作。在效率方面,提出了一个包含死区时间控制,断流模式控制以及栅宽调制功能的高效率功率管驱动电路。在控制回路中采用sigma-delta调制取代传统的PWM调制,降低了开关电源输出中与时钟有关的谐波噪声。本文在 0.35um CMOS工艺条件下实现了一个基于二阶sigma-delta调制的高效率低噪声DC-DC变换器。测试结果表明,此变换器能够达到93%的峰值效率,并且谐波噪声可以比使用PWM调制时低30dB。
