Fixed Frequency Peak Current Mode Control

The buck regulator integrated in TCAN245x-Q1 is a step-down synchronous buck converter with integrated high-side (HS) and low-side (LS) switches. The regulator supplies a regulated output voltage by turning on the high-side and low-side NMOS switches with controlled duty cycle. Refer to Figure 8-5. During high-side switch ON time, the BUCKSW pin voltage swings up to approximately VSUPB, and the inductor current, iL, increases with linear slope (VSUPB – VCC1) / L. When the high-side switch is turned off by the control logic, the low-side switch is turned on after an anti-shoot-through dead time (tD). Inductor current discharges through the low-side switch with a slope of –VCC1/L. The control parameter of a buck converter is defined as Duty Cycle D = tON / TSW, where tON is the high-side switch ON time and TSW is the switching period. The converter control loop maintains a constant output voltage by adjusting the duty cycle D. In a buck converter, where losses are ignored, D is proportional to the output voltage and inversely proportional to the input voltage: D = VCC1/VSUPB.

The buck regulator employs fixed-frequency peak-current mode control. A voltage feedback loop is used to get accurate DC voltage regulation by adjusting the peak-current command based on voltage offset. The peak inductor current is sensed from the high-side switch and compared to the peak current threshold to control the ON time of the high-side switch. The voltage feedback loop is internally-compensated, which allows for fewer external components, making designing easy, and providing stable operation when using a variety of output capacitors. The converter operates with fixed switching frequency at normal load conditions. When set to Auto mode (Automatic transition from PWM to PFM mode), during light-load conditions, the buck regulator operates in PFM mode to maintain high efficiency. When set to Forced PWM (FPWM) mode, the regulator operates in PWM mode for low output voltage ripple, tight output voltage regulation, and constant switching frequency.
