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 1):
A DC-DC voltage converter ( 1 ) for converting a DC input voltage (U_in) to a predetermined DC output voltage (U_out), the DC-DC voltage converter comprising:\n a comparison device ( 10 ) configured to provide a controlled variable (R 1 ) based on a comparison of the value of the 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 (U_out); a correction device ( 11 ) configured to adjust a value of an input current (I_in) of the DC-DC voltage converter ( 1 ) based on a previously determined correction function, and to output the value (I_in,corr) of the adjusted input current; a regulation device ( 12 ) configured to calculate a further controlled variable (R 2 ) using the value (I_in,corr) of the adjusted input current and the prescribed setpoint voltage value (U_setpoint) for the DC output voltage (U_out); a computation device ( 13 ) configured to calculate a regulator value (R 3 ) from the controlled variable (R 1 ) of the comparison device ( 10 ) and the further controlled variable (R 2 ) of the regulation device ( 12 ); and a DC-DC voltage transducer ( 20 ) configured to convert the DC input voltage (U_in) to the DC output voltage (U_out) using the regulator value (R 3 ) calculated by the computation device ( 13 ).
