A 900mA 93 efficient 50µA quiescent current fixed frequency hysteretic buck converter using a highly digital hybrid voltage- and current-mode control

摘要

A hysteretic buck converter employs a hybrid voltage/current mode control to regulate output voltage and switching frequency independently. Fabricated in a 130nm CMOS process, the prototype consumes only 50µA quiescent current and operates at a constant switching frequency of 1MHz over a wide range of output voltages (0.7-to-1.8V) and inductor values (1-to-5µH) with a peak efficiency of 93%. The output ripple and the settling time of the converter are less than ±2.5mV and 10µs, respectively.
