Ripple detection and cancellation for voltage regulator circuits

Techniques are described for ripple detection and cancellation in switching voltage regulator circuits. For example, in a switching voltage converter, a voltage is up-converted or down-converted by switching high side and low side switches and passed through a low-pass filter for averaging. While th...

description Techniques are described for ripple detection and cancellation in switching voltage regulator circuits. For example, in a switching voltage converter, a voltage is up-converted or down-converted by switching high side and low side switches and passed through a low-pass filter for averaging. While the act of switching can result in conversion of the voltage with good efficiency, it also typically generates ripples on the output voltage, which can be undesirable in some applications. Embodiments use the switching voltage, the output voltage, and a feed-forward loop to generate a current cancellation signal to have particular gain, timing, and polarity that effectively emulates the complement of the inductor ripple current. The cancellation current signal can be injected into the output node, such that the cancellation current signal sums with the inductor ripple current at the output node, thereby at least partially cancelling the effect of the inductor ripple current.
