A current-mode buck-boost DC-DC converter with fast transient response
- A fast transient current-mode buckboost DC-DC converter for portable devices is presented. Running at 1 MHz the converter provides stable 3 V from a 2.7 V to 4.2 V Li-Ion battery. A small voltage under-/overshoot is achieved by fast transient techniques: (1) adaptive pulse skipping (APS) and (2) adaptive compensation capacitance (ACC). The proposed converter was implemented in a 0.25 μm CMOS technology. Load transient simulations confirm the effectiveness of APS and ACC. The improvement in voltage undershoot and response time at light-to-heavy load step (100 mA to 500 mA), are 17 % and 59 %, respectively, in boost mode and 40 % and 49 %, respectively, in buck mode. Similar results are achieved at heavy-to-light load step for overshoot and response time.
