Highly Accurate And Efficient Current-mode Pwm Cmos Dc-dc Buck Converter With On-chip Current-sensing

摘要

In this paper, a high accuracy, high efficiency, and wide current-sensing range current-mode PWM buck converter with on-chip current-sensing technique is presented. The proposed current-sensing circuit uses simple switch technique to achieve high accuracy, high power efficiency, and high line regulation. The test chip is fabricated using TSMC 0.18μm 1P6M 3.3 V CMOS process. The measurement results show that the buck converter with on-chip current-sensing circuit can operate from 700 kHz to 3 MHz with a supply voltage of 1.5-5 V and the output voltage of 0.5-4.5 V for lithium ion battery applications. The accuracy of the proposed current-sensing circuit is exceeds 89.8% for load current from 50 mA to 500 mA and for temperature from 0℃ to 100℃. The peak power efficiency of the buck converter is up to 95.5%.
