Description

Conduction time expansion circuit of DC-DC buck converter
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of integrated circuits and switching power supplies, and particularly relates to a conduction time control circuit of a COT (constant on time) -controlled DC-DC buck converter.
Background
With the development of semiconductor power integration technology, electronic mobile devices are widely applied to the fields of mobile phones, internet of things and the like. To meet the complex operating environment, long operating times, portable electronic devices require a fast transient response and high efficiency of the DC-DC converter. Fast transient response means that the output voltage can remain stable under load steps and high efficiency means that power and loss and quiescent current can be effectively controlled. The COT-controlled buck converter belongs to frequency conversion control, and can increase equivalent switching frequency when load is stepped, so that response speed is improved, and the COT-controlled buck converter is suitable for complex load conditions, as shown in a schematic diagram of the COT buck converter in fig. 1. The COT control converter can avoid subharmonic oscillation of peak current control, and can realize the stability of switching frequency through a pseudo-constant frequency technology; at light load, the converter frequency of the COT control is low, and high conversion efficiency can be realized. Since the on-time of the COT-controlled converter is a constant value, multiple duty cycles are required to achieve circuit adaptation to new load currents when a step on the load occurs in the circuit, which means a larger load response time, taking into account the shortest off-time. In addition, under the same load transient state, longer load response time means larger overshoot and undershoot voltage, so that the power supply voltage of the load circuit is unstable for a long time, and the load is seriously influenced.
Thus, for a COT controlled DC-DC buck converter, the high efficiency performance under light load is preserved, and the on-time control circuit focuses on how to improve the step response performance on the load of the COT buck converter.
Disclosure of Invention
