Abstract

A current-mode DC-DC buck converter with high stability independent of load and supply voltage is presented. The loop gain´s expression of the current-mode converter is derived by employing an advanced model of current-mode control converter. After analyzing the loop gain´s expression, which illustrates the method of selecting suitable frequency compensation for control-loop, and a novel pole-zero tracking frequency compensation is proposed. Based on theoretic analysis, a DC-DC buck converter which has high stability independent of load and supply voltage is designed with 0.5 mum-CMOS technology. The simulated results revealed that stability of the converter is independent of load current and input voltage. Moreover, the converter provides a full load transient response of less than 5 mus setting time and less than 30 mV overshoots and undershoots
