Peak current limit management for high frequency buck converters

A controller for a voltage converter, such as a buck converter (104), includes: a switching regulator circuit (112) having high side and low side switches (210, 222); a comparator (212, 214, 216, 218) configured to compare a voltage of the output circuit (114) with a reference voltage; and a control...

Zusammenfassung:A controller for a voltage converter, such as a buck converter (104), includes: a switching regulator circuit (112) having high side and low side switches (210, 222); a comparator (212, 214, 216, 218) configured to compare a voltage of the output circuit (114) with a reference voltage; and a control circuit (110) coupled to the current comparator (212, 214, 216, 218), configured to receive an output from the comparator (212, 214, 216, 218), and configured to generate a control signal for alternately opening and closing the high-side switch and the low-side switch (210, 222) such that the low-side switch (222) is open when the high-side switch (210) is on, and the high-side switch (210) is open when the low-side switch (222) is on, and wherein the control circuit (110) comprises a latch circuit configured to latch a signal corresponding to at least one of the outputs from the comparators (212, 214, 216, 218). A method of operating a buck converter (104) in conjunction with a fixed high frequency automotive rad
