  • Abstract
    This paper presents a novel dual-current pump module (DCPM) to improve the transient response of dc-dc converters. The DCPM operates only during transient to provide two additional current injections for step-up load and current drains for step-down load. Due to the two current pump paths, the current stress on the switches of the DCPM is also reduced. The measurement results show that the DCPM can enhance the dynamic recovery time of the buck dc-dc converter by more than an order.
