Modeling Current-Programmed Buck and Boost Regulators

Abstract

A general small-signal model for current-programmed switching power stages is used for design-oriented analysis of a 150-W buck regulator and of a 280-W boost regulator. The model, into which the current-programming minor feedback loop is absorbed, exposes the desired tendency towards "constant" output current. The regulator voltage loop remains the only explicit feedback loop, allowing the regulator closed-loop properties to be easily obtained from those of the open-loop current-programmed power stage. The design-oriented analytic results allow easy inference of the effects of element changes on the regulator performance functions. Results are obtained for the regulator line-to-output transfer function (audio susceptibility) and output impedance.
