| Stage 1 Ripple | Dynamically changing operation mode (PFM-PWM-PFM)
with load change. FFT plot before LDO with 4 MHz bandwidth, showing
several frequency spikes as PFM frequency changes to PWM |
Output ripple continues to be PWM as load changes,
with minimal overshoot and undershoot at load step. FFT plot with
2.5 MHz bandwidth shows ripple at 1.5 MHz, as expected |
Dynamically changing operation mode (PFM-PWM) with
load change. FFT plot before PI filter with 4.25 MHz bandwidth,
showing ripple primarily at very low frequencies (PFM) and switching
frequency (1.8 MHz) |
| Stage 2 Ripple | FFT plot after LDO with 4 MHz bandwidth shows higher
overshoot and undershoot values (low frequency) and strong noise
attenuation by LDO |
N/A | FFT plot after PI filter with 4.25 MHz bandwidth,
showing undershoot and overshoot present, though smaller than values
in Architecture A, and very strong noise attenuation by PI
filter |
