Abstract

Continuous conduction mode (CCM) boost converter is difficult to compensate due to the right half plane (RHP) zero. This paper presents a quasi fixed frequency constant on time (COT) controlled boost converter, it has no loop compensation requirement. With the proposed COT control, pulse frequency modulation (PFM) comes free at light load, which improves the light load efficiency compared with traditional PWM control. A compact on-time generator that controls the operation frequency is proposed. And a current sink based feedback circuit is used to improve the quality of feedback signal.The COT controller is designed with 1.5 mum BCD process. Simulation results demonstrate that the COT boost converter has fast load transient response and quasi fixed frequency operation.
