A Fast-Response RBAOT-Controlled Buck Converter With Pseudofixed Switching Frequency and Enhanced Output Accuracy
Bibliographic record
Abstract
A ripple-based constant on-time (RBCOT) control scheme is excellent in achieving fast transient response during the load current step. However, it suffers from severe electromagnetic interference (EMI) noise and inherent output voltage offset problem. A monolithic ripple-based adaptive on-time (RBAOT)-controlled buck converter is presented to overcome both drawbacks while retaining the advantage of RBCOT. The on-time is adjusted adaptively by detecting the switching node voltage, and thereby ensuring a pseudofixed switching frequency in a steady state, regardless of the input, output voltage, and load current conditions. A correction voltage generated by a coefficient in a virtual inductor current (VIC) circuit is introduced to counteract the offset voltage and enhance the output accuracy. The proposed scheme is simple to implement and suitable for high-conversion ratio applications. Experimental results show that the switching frequency is centered at 1 MHz with less than 6% variation for an output of 5 V and inputs ranging from 8 to 18 V. The output offset voltage is reduced from 16 to 1 mV for an 18 to 1.05-V conversion. For a load current step of 1 A, the output can be settled within <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$6~\mu \text{s}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> and the undershoot and overshoot voltages are controlled to be within 20 mV.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
