摘要： A multiphase synthetic ripple voltage generator for a multiphase DC-DC regulator including a master clock circuit that generates a master clock signal, sequence logic and a ripple regulator for each phase. The DC-DC regulator includes multiple switching circuits, each responsive to a corresponding PWM signal to switch input voltages via a phase node through an output inductor to develop an output voltage. The sequence logic sets each PWM signal in sequential order based on the master clock signal. Each ripple generator includes a transconductance amplifier, a ripple capacitor and a comparator. The transconductance amplifier has an input coupled to a corresponding output inductor and an output coupled to a corresponding ripple capacitor. The comparator has a first input coupled to the ripple capacitor, a second input receiving an error voltage, and an output coupled to the sequence logic for resetting a corresponding PWM signal.

摘要： A multiphase ripple voltage regulator generator employs a hysteretic comparator referenced to upper and lower voltage thresholds. The hysteretic comparator monitors a master ripple voltage waveform developed across a capacitor supplied with a current proportional to the difference between the output voltage and either the input voltage or ground. The output of the hysteretic comparator generates a master clock signal that is sequentially coupled to PWM latches, the states of which define the durations of respective components of the synthesized ripple voltage. A respective PWM latch has a first state initiated by a selected master clock signal and terminated by an associated phase voltage comparator that monitors a respective phase node voltage.

摘要： Systems and devices for smooth light load operation in a DC/DC converter are presented. The disclosed systems and methods enable smooth discontinuous conduction mode (DCM)/continuous conduction mode (CCM) transition. The disclosed systems and methods of smooth light load operation in a DC/DC converter may also avoid the generation of sub-harmonics during light load operation. In an example embodiment, a rising ramp is used to control the ON time of the converter oscillator, while a falling ramp controls the OFF time. During DCM operation, the minimum value of the falling ramp is clamped. The clamping of the falling ramp ensures a substantially similar level of the error amplifier output in both CCM and DCM and avoids disturbances caused by a difference in the error amplifier outputs between the modes.

摘要： One embodiment of the invention includes a power regulator system. The system includes a switching system configured to generate an output voltage across a load based on a high-side switch coupling a power voltage to an output at an edge-trigger of a PWM control signal having an activation pulse-width of the high-side switch. The system also includes a switch driver system configured to set a duty-cycle of the PWM control signal such that the activation pulse-width of the PWM control signal is based on the power regulator system operating in one of a continuous conduction mode (CCM) and a discontinuous conduction mode (DCM). The edge-trigger of the PWM control signal can occur based on a relative magnitude of the output voltage and the power voltage while operating in the DCM.

The first PWM controller is configured to generate at least one first output signal based on a first clock signal, and to insert at least one synchronizing pulse into the first clock signal, the synchronizing pulse having a predetermined characteristic differing from pulses of the first clock signal, and to provide the first clock signal including the synchronizing pulse to the second PWM controller. The second PWM controller is configured to generate at least one second output signal based on the first clock signal, and to synchronize the generation of the first and second output signals using the synchronizing pulse within the first clock signal, thereby maintaining a predetermined phase relationship between the first and second output signals. The synchronizing pulse may be, for example, a skinny pulse or a pulse having a magnitude larger than the pulses of the first clock signal.

摘要： A method and apparatus for use in a multi-phase power system. The power system is of the type having a plurality of Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) controllers including a first PWM controller and at least one second PWM controller. The first PWM controller generates at least one first PWM output signal based on a cyclic signal having a cyclically recurring parameter, and provides the cyclic signal including the cyclically recurring parameter to the second PWM controller. The second PWM controller generates at least one second PWM output signal based on the cyclic signal, and synchronizes the generation of the first and second output signals using the cyclically recurring parameter within the cyclic signal, thereby maintaining a predetermined phase relationship between the first and second output signals. The second PWM controller generates a cyclic, triangular RAMP waveform signal having a series of periods, the RAMP waveform having in each period a signal rising portion and a signal falling portion, and compares the RAMP waveform against an error signal to generate the second PWM signal, the RAMP waveform rising portion and falling portion being generated by charging and discharging, respectively, a capacitor. A feedforward path is provided by setting a charging current for the capacitor that is proportional to an input voltage.

摘要： A modified Brokaw cell-based circuit produces a current which varies linearly with temperature. The collector-emitter current flow path of a diode-connected transistor is connected in series with the PTAT current produced by a control transistor. The base of the control transistor receives a control voltage whose value defines a limited range of variation of output current with temperature. The output transistor is coupled to an input port of a current mirror, which mirrors the linear collector current from the output transistor. The current through the output transistor is controlled by a composite of a CTAT base-emitter voltage of the diode-connected transistor and a PTAT voltage across a resistor, so that the output transistor produces an output current having a linear temperature coefficient.

摘要： A diode emulator for a DC—DC buck converter employs a variable current ramp-based circuit that monitors the state of the phase voltage at the common node between two power switching devices. Incrementally with each pulse width modulation cycle, the diode emulator adjusts the time of turn-off of the lower power switching device, until the monitored phase voltage indicates that the emulator is effectively tracking the negative going, zero-crossing of the ripple current through an output inductor.
