In many applications such as computing, the power rail’s load transient requirement are becoming more and more restrictive. Furthermore, because it involves complex Laplace transfer function ...

Popularity and perceived advantages of current-mode control (CMC) have made it de rigueur as a loop control architecture with many power management IC manufacturers and power supply vendors. Also ...

Editor's Note: Many thanks to TI for providing this in-depth study of automotive buck converter design. The authors use a TI part in their example design, but the lessons here should have general ...

The course is focused on current-mode control techniques, which are very frequently applied in practical realizations of switched-mode. Upon completion of the course, you will be able to understand, ...

Fig 1. The buck converter schematic shows the voltage feedback loop and the fast peak CMC loop. The current waveform as seen by the shunt is the dominant signal at the ramp of the PWM comparator. Fig ...
