CURRENT MODE DC-DC CONVERTER

Abstract:

A converter system includes a first switch and a controller configured to switch the first switch between first and second states based on input and output voltages of the converter system, wherein the controller includes: a timer unit including a first timer configured to determine a first duration based on a target switching frequency of the converter system, and a second timer configured to determine a second duration based on a predetermined duration equal to or greater than a minimum duration of the first state of the first switch and the input and output voltages; and a control logic unit, configured to switch the first switch from the second state to the first state upon expiration of both the first and second durations.
