Switch on-time controller with delay line modulator

Abstract:

A system includes an input voltage supply. The system also includes a switching converter coupled to the input voltage supply and configured to provide an output voltage based on a switch on-time. The system also includes a switch on-time controller for the switching converter. The switch on-time controller includes an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) and a delay line coupled to the ADC. The switch on-time controller also includes a delay line modulator coupled to the delay line and configured to determine an amount of times the delay line is used to determine the switch on-time.
