    Buck Regulator Architectures

    4.1 Overview
    Buck-Switching Converters

    Synchronous Non-Synchronous
    (Internal-FET) Regulators

    LM3102 LM22676

    (External-FET) Controllers

    LM2747 LM3489

    Vin D C Vout

    ΔIL, Ton = ΔIL, Toff


    Vout = D*Vin
    ΔIL, Ton = (Vin – Vout ) * Ton / L
    D = Ton / (Toff +Ton)
    ΔIL, Toff = -Vout * Toff / L

    Cross Conduction with
    Synchronous Buck
    • Direct Connection between VIN and Ground

    • High – Side and Low – Side must not be in ON state at the same time

    • A time in which both MOSFET are Turned OFF is required:


    DEAD - TIME

    6
    DEAD – TIME
    • FIXED DEAD – TIME
    – Fixed time between Turn-OFF and Turn-ON
    – No flexibility in MOSFET choice
    • ADAPTATIVE DEAD – TIME
    – High-Side turns ON only if LS is OFF and vice versa
    – Full flexibility in MOSFET choice
    • It is necessary to detect the Turn-OFF of both MOSFET

    7
    Control Mode
    • Voltage Mode Control (VMC)
    • Current Mode Control (CMC)
    – Peak Current Mode Control (PCMC)
    – Valley Current Mode Control (VCMC)
    – Average Current Mode Control (ACMC)
    • Hysteretic Mode Control (HMC)

    8
    Voltage Mode Control
    Advantages and Disadvantages
    • Advantages
    – Stable modulation/less sensitive to noise
    – Single feedback path
    – Can work over a wide range of duty cycles
    • Disadvantages
    – Loop gain proportional to VIN
    – LC double pole often drives Type III compensation
    – CCM and DCM differences - a compensation challenge
    – Slow response to input voltage changes
    – Current limiting must be done separately

    9
    Current Mode Control
    Advantages and Disadvantages
    • Advantages
    – Power plant gain offers a single-pole roll-off
    – Line rejection
    – Cycle-by-cycle current limiting protection
    – Current sharing
    • Disadvantages
    – Noise
    – Minimum ON-time
    – Sense resistor

    10
    Hysteretic Mode Control
    Advantages and Disadvantages
    • Advantages
    – Ultra fast transient response (preferred to use in power hungry load)
    – No phase compensation required; In other words, Hysteretic Mode is a kind
    of large signal control
    • Disadvantages
    – Noise Jitter susceptible
    – Very layout sensitive
    – Large switching frequency variation; Minimum ripple requirement
