Abstract

In this paper, a boost converter is proposed, which adopts an adaptable current-limited PFM circuit to decrease the output voltage ripple. Unlike the conventional current-limited circuits, the proposed current-limited circuit could provide the appropriate current to the output load. This is realized by using an adaptable loading feedback circuit to automatically adjust the current-limited current according to operating conditions. The proposed circuit was designed by using TSMC 0.35mum CMOS 2P4M technology. Simulation results showed that the ripple voltage could be effectively reduced 36.7% compared with the conventional circuit at the 100mA loading current
