Patent ID: 10797598

Abstract:
According to an aspect of one or more exemplary embodiments, there is provided a constant on-time controller for a buck converter with calibrated ripple injection in continuous conduction mode. The constant on-time controller may include a pulse width modulator (PWM) comparator that generates an on-time request, an error amplifier that regulates an average feedback voltage to an internal reference voltage, and passes a feedback node ripple signal to an input of the PWM comparator, an on-time generator that outputs an on-time signal that controls an on-time of the buck converter based on the on-time request, a MOSFET driver that drives the buck converter based on the output of the on-time generator, and an injection signal generator coupled to the on-time generator, wherein the injection signal generator may include a first switch and a second switch, a fixed signal generator, and a bias current source.
