Virtual ripple generation in switch-mode power supplies
Terry J. Groom,Stuart Pullen +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a virtual ripple generator is proposed for single and multi-phase voltage regulation applications, which can include output (load) voltage droop compensation, but the generator is not dependent on implementation specifics, such as circuit board layout or output capacitor ESR.
Patent
Self-clocking multiphase power supply controller
TL;DR: In this article, a ripple-mode controller provides reliable operation in multi-phase power supply circuits, over a variety of operating conditions, by adjusting the width of switching pulses the controller provides to one or more of the output phases based on detecting load current imbalance.
Patent
Bounded power supply voltage positioning
Terry J. Groom,Stuart Pullen +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a voltage positioning technique allows a power supply controller to more fully exploit active voltage positioning as a way of maintaining supply voltage within the limits defined for an associated electrical load, where the supply voltage is allowed to "droop" as a function of load current.
Patent
Constant ON-time controller for a buck converter
Stuart Pullen,Terry J. Groom +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a constant ON-time controller for a buck converter utilizes dual symmetrical ramps, which can be generated artificially or by sensing the voltage across a sense resistor in the output.
Patent
Slew rate limited reference for a buck converter
Stuart Pullen,Terry J. Groom +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a compensated reference voltage for the controller of a buck regulator corrects for offsets and controls the rate at which the output load current can change in response to a change in the reference setting output voltage level of the buck converter.
