Detailed Description
Fig. 1A shows a block diagram of a direct current (DC-to-DC) converter 100 with output voltage offset cancellation according to a first embodiment of the present invention, and fig. 1B shows a circuit diagram of a portion of the blocks of fig. 1A.
In the present embodiment, the dc converter 100 may include a switching circuit 11 for generating a switching voltage Vx. The switching circuit 11 may include a first switching device Mp (e.g., a P-type metal oxide semiconductor (PMOS) transistor) and a second switching device Mn (e.g., an N-type metal oxide semiconductor (NMOS) transistor) connected in series between the power source 111 and ground. The power supply 111 provides an input voltage Vin. The switching voltage Vx is located at a switching node Vx between the first switching device Mp and the second switching device Mn. The first switching device Mp is electrically connected between the power source 111 and the switching node Vx, and the second switching device Mn is electrically connected between the switching node Vx and ground. In this specification, the same symbol (e.g., Vx) may be used to denote a node and the voltage of the node.

Wherein the energy storage circuit 12 may comprise an inductor L and an effective series resistor RLConnected in series between the switching node Vx and the output node Vo; and a capacitor C and an effective series resistor RCAnd is connected in series between the output node Vo and ground.

In thatIn this embodiment, the digital fixed on-time controller 15 stores the energy (e.g. the inductor current I flowing through the inductor L) according to the stored energy of the energy storage circuit 12L) To generate a fixed on-time (COT) switching control signal.
Fig. 2A shows a block diagram of the digital fixed on-time controller 15 of fig. 1A according to a first embodiment of the present invention, and fig. 2B shows a detailed block diagram of a part of the blocks of fig. 2A.
In the present embodiment, the digital fixed on-time controller 15 may comprise a (digital) current sensing circuit 151, which senses the stored energy (e.g. the inductor current I) of the energy storage circuit 12L) To generate a sense voltage representative of the voltage across the effective series resistor RLThe voltage of (c). The current sensing circuit 151 may comprise a (digital) High Pass Filter (HPF)1511 and a (digital) Low Pass Filter (LPF)1512 for receiving the digital output voltage Vo [ n ]]And a switching control signal S. The digital fixed on-time controller 15 may include a first adder 1513 that adds the output of a High Pass Filter (HPF)1511 to the output of a Low Pass Filter (LPF)1512 to generate a sense voltage. Fig. 2C illustrates an equivalent analog architecture of the current sensing circuit 151 of fig. 2B. For details of the design of the High Pass Filter (HPF)1511 and the Low Pass Filter (LPF)1512, reference is made to a single crystal Digital Ripple-Based Adaptive-Off-Time DC-DC Converter With Digital Inductor Current sensing (a single Digital Ripple-Based Adaptive-Off-Time DC-DC Converter With Digital Inductor Current Sensor) proposed by m.p. chan et al, which is published in the institute of electrical and electronics engineers Solid State Circuits (IEEE Journal of Solid-State Circuits), volume 49, No. 8, pages 1837-1847, and october 2014, the contents of which are considered as part of this specification.
The digital constant on-time controller 15 of the present embodiment may comprise an offset cancellation (offset cancellation) circuit 152, which receives the sensing voltage (of the current sensing circuit 151) and the digital output voltage Vo [ n ]]The offset-removed sensing voltage is generated according to the switching control signal S. Offset cancellation circuit 152 may include a valley detector 1521 that detects a valley (or minimum) value of the sensed voltage (from current sensing circuit 151). FIG. 3A illustrates spanning an effective series connectionResistor R-LAnd displays the valley voltage Vvalley. The sensing voltage may comprise a ripple voltage RLIL(ripple)At its center, the average voltage is RLIL(DC)+Vo。
The offset cancellation circuit 152 of the present embodiment may include a second adder 1522 that subtracts the valley voltage V from the sense voltage (from the current sensing circuit 151)valleyTo generate a zero-valley (zero-valley) sense voltage. FIG. 3B illustrates a waveform of zero valley sensing voltage with an average voltage of 0.5R at its centerLIL(ripple)
The offset cancellation circuit 152 of the present embodiment may further include a third adder 1523 for adding the zero valley sensing voltage and the digital output voltage Vo [ n ]]Adding to generate an offset-removed sense voltage. FIG. 3C illustrates a waveform of the offset-removed sensing voltage, the average voltage of the center of which is 0.5RLIL(ripple)+Vo。
In the present embodiment, the digital fixed on-time controller 15 may include a comparator 153 that compares the offset-removed sensing voltage with the reference signal Vref. A first input node (e.g., a positive (+) input node) of the comparator 153 receives the offset-removed sensing voltage (from the offset canceling circuit 152), and a second input node (e.g., a negative (-) input node) receives the reference signal Vref.
The digital fixed on-time controller 15 of the present embodiment may include a Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) generator 154 for generating the switching control signal S according to the comparison result of the comparator 153. Fig. 3D shows signals related to the comparator 153 and the pwm generator 154 of fig. 2A according to an embodiment of the invention. The pwm generator 154 generates a pulse having a predetermined on-time (of the first switching device Mp) whenever the offset-removed sensing voltage is smaller than the reference signal Vref. In detail, when the offset removal sensing voltage is smaller than the reference signal Vref, the switching control signal S is activated (e.g., S is equal to 1), and the first switching device Mp is turned on (for a predetermined period) but the second switching device Mn is turned off. On the other hand, when the switching control signal S is inactive (e.g., S is equal to 0), the first switching device Mp is turned off but the second switching device Mn is turned on. To facilitate comparisonFig. 3E shows signals associated with the comparator 153 and the pwm generator 154 of fig. 2A without using the offset cancellation circuit 152 (i.e., the sensing voltage is directly coupled to the comparator 153). Notably, the operations associated with FIG. 3E are due to RLIL(DC)This causes an offset error of the output voltage. In contrast, since the offset cancellation circuit 152 is used in the present embodiment, the sensing voltage is shifted to 0.5R by shifting the DC level of the sensing voltageLIL(ripple)+ Vo (as shown in fig. 3A to 3C), so that output voltage offset can be avoided.
Fig. 4A shows a block diagram of a direct current (DC-to-DC) converter 200 with output voltage offset cancellation according to a second embodiment of the present invention, and fig. 4B shows a circuit diagram of a portion of the blocks of fig. 4A. Fig. 5A shows a block diagram of the digital fixed on-time controller 15 of fig. 4A according to a second embodiment of the present invention, and fig. 5B shows a detailed block diagram of a part of the blocks of fig. 5A.
The second embodiment is similar to the first embodiment, and the differences will be explained below. In the second embodiment, the first analog-to-digital converter 13A generates an equivalent digital output voltage Vo [ n ] of the (analog) output voltage Vo, and the second analog-to-digital converter 13B generates an equivalent digital switching voltage Vx [ n ] of the (analog) switching voltage Vx. Thereby, the digital fixed on-time controller 15 of the second embodiment generates the switching control signal S according to the digital output voltage Vo [ n ] and the digital switching voltage Vx [ n ], but only according to the digital output voltage Vo [ n ] in the first embodiment. The Low Pass Filter (LPF)1512 and the valley detector 1521 of the offset cancellation circuit 152 of the current sensing circuit 151 of the second embodiment are implemented according to the digital switching voltage Vx [ n ], but are implemented according to the switching control signal S in the first embodiment.
Although the present invention has been described with reference to a preferred embodiment, it should be understood that various changes, substitutions and alterations can be made herein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.
