TLDR
In this paper, the authors proposed a flexible-order power-distributive control (FOPDC) for a DC/DC converter, which can correctly regulate multiple outputs with fast transient response, low cross regulation, and effective switching frequency for each output.Abstract:
The invention relates to a DC/DC converter design. The converter requires only one single inductor to draw energy from one input source and distribute it to more than one outputs, employing Flexible-Order Power-Distributive Control (FOPDC). It include a single inductor, a number of power switches, comparators, only one error amplifier, a detecting circuit and a control block to regulate outputs. This converter can correctly regulate multiple outputs with fast transient response, low cross regulation, and effective switching frequency for each output. It can work in both discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) and continuous conduction mode (CCM). Moreover, with FOPDC, future output extension is simple, making a shorter time-to-market process for next versions of the converter. The design can be applied to different types of DC-DC converter.read more

Mixed mode control for switching regulator with fast transient responses
TL;DR: In this paper, a switching regulator controller can include: (i) a first feedback circuit for sensing an output, to compare against a regulation reference, and to generate a control signal suitable for matching the output of the regulator to the regulation reference during a steady state operation of the switching regulator; and (ii) a second feedback circuit, for sensing a regulation difference between the output and the regulator reference, where the adjustment signal adjusts the control signal under transient conditions to improve transient responses of said switching regulator.
