Analytical transient response of MOS current mirrors

The analytical transient response of MOS current mirrors is derived for the case when the input current is a saturating ramp. The closed form solution obtained for the voltages and currents in the circuit is expressed using Airy's functions. The settling time is then calculated using the closed‐form current equation. For the case when the settling time is greater than the transition time of the input current, a closed form solution is obtained. When the settling time is less than the input transition time, a very simple fitting function is found to accurately model the dependence of the settling time on the various parameters in the circuit, including the transition time of the input current. Simulations show excellent agreement of the estimates of the settling time macromodel with LEVEL‐1 SPICE results. For LEVEL‐3 MOSFET models, the error in the macromodel is within 20% of detailed circuit simulation. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

A modified dual current mode control method with an adaptive current bandwidth

In this paper, a new adaptive dual current mode control method (ADCMC) is presented, being a result of the modification of existing dual current mode control (DCMC) by introducing an adaptive current bandwidth. The ADCMC offers several important advantages over DCMC, such as no peak‐to‐average error in the inductor current, better transient response of current loop, and improved line regulation. A detailed analysis of the proposed ADCMC is performed for three types of DC–DC power electronics converters: buck, boost, and non‐inverting buck–boost converter. The performances of the ADCMC are tested with simulations and experiments. The obtained results confirm the analysis and validity of the proposed ADCMC method.

Low‐voltage high‐performance current mirrors: Application to linear voltage‐to‐current converter

Current mirror is one of the basic building blocks of analog VLSI systems. For high‐performance analog circuit applications, the accuracy and bandwidth are the most important parameters to determine the performance of the current mirror. This paper presents an efficient implementation of a CMOS current mirror suitable for low‐voltage applications. This circuit combines a shunt input feedback, a regulated cascade output and a differential amplifier to achieve low input resistance, high accuracy and high output resistance. A comparison of several architectures of this scheme based on different architectures of the amplifier is presented. The comparison includes: input impedance, output impedance, accuracy, frequency response and settling time response. These circuits are validated with simulation in 0.18µm CMOS TSMC of MOSIS. In this paper, a linear voltage to current converter, based on the adapted current mirror, is proposed. Its static and dynamic behaviour is presented and validated with the same technology.

Quasi‐V2 hysteretic control boost DC–DC regulator with synthetic current ripple technique

Conventionally, a high accuracy operational amplifier (OPA)‐based current sensor is used for sensing current message under a full load range, which increases the cost characteristic. Instead of a high accuracy OPA‐based current sensor, this paper describes using a switching inductor quasi‐V² hysteretic control boost dc–dc regulator with a proposed current‐sensing technique named emulated‐ramp feedback (ERF), which can improve transfer efficiency under a full load range. Two control systems are presented in this paper. The first system, a hysteretic voltage control switching boost converter with ERF, achieves the hysteretic voltage control in a boost regulator and lowers the cost characteristic without using compensator. The second system, a quasi‐V² hysteretic voltage control switching boost converter with ERF, demonstrates the compatibility of ERF technique in rippled‐based control boost converters. The regulator was implemented with TSMC 0.25‐µm HV CMOS process. Experimental results show the second system can work under the specification of 5–12 V with a 0 to 300‐mA load range. Additionally, this system attained a recovery time is 27/95 µs for step‐up/step‐down in a 100 to 300‐mA continuous conduction mode load current, and a peak efficiency of 92.1% with a chip area of only 1.014 mm².
