Abstract:
The present invention provides regulation for an output voltage of a DC-DC voltage converter. The controlled variable provided to the regulator of the DC-DC voltage converter is in this case made up of a controlled variable from a voltage regulator and a further controlled variable from an initial controller. The controlled variable from the voltage regulator is in this case obtained directly from the comparison of the output voltage with a setpoint voltage. The controlled variable from the initial controller takes into consideration, inter alia, the input current of the DC-DC voltage converter, the value of the input current being able to be corrected such that the voltage regulator can be operated close to the zero point during steady-state operation. In this manner, faster and more precise regulation of the output voltage is obtained.

Claim (Index 5):
A method for regulating a DC-DC voltage converter ( 1 ), the method comprising:\n identifying (S 1 ), via a comparison device ( 10 ), a controlled variable (R 1 ) based on a comparison of the value of a DC output voltage (U_out) of the DC-DC voltage converter ( 1 ) with a prescribed setpoint voltage value (U_setpoint) for the DC output voltage; adjusting (S 2 ), via a correction device ( 11 ), a value (I_in,corr) of an input current of the DC-DC voltage converter ( 1 ) based on a previously determined correction function; calculating (S 3 ), via the correction device ( 11 ), a further controlled variable (R 2 ) using the value of the adjusted input current (I_in,corr) and the prescribed setpoint voltage value (U_setpoint) for the DC output voltage (U_out); combining (S 4 ), via a computation device ( 13 ), the identified controlled variable (R 1 ) and the calculated further controlled variable (R 2 ) to form a regulator value (R 3 ); and controlling (S 5 ) the DC output voltage (U_out) of a DC-DC voltage transducer ( 20 ) of the DC-DC voltage converter ( 1 ) based on the regulator value (R 3 ).
