Objectives

• Better understanding of converter small-signal dynamics, especially at high frequencies

• Applications– DCM high-frequency modeling– Current mode control– Digital control


Example: A/D and D/A conversion

A/D D/Av(t) vo(t)v*(t)

Analog-to-digital converter

Digital-to-analog converter

t(n+1)T (n+2)TnT T = sampling period

1/T = sampling frequency

v(t)

v*(t)

vo(t)


Modeling objectives

• Relationships: v to v* to vo

– Time domain: v(t) to v*(t) to vo(t)

– Frequency domain: v(s) to v*(s) to vo(s)

• Sampled-data model valid at all frequencies

• Equivalent hold describes the converter small-signal response to the sampled duty-cycle perturbations [Billy Lau, PESC 1986]

• State-space averaging or averaged-switch models are low-frequency continuous-time approximations to this sampled-data model

High-frequency pole due to the inductor current dynamics in DCM, see (11.77) in Section 11.3


Conclusions

• PWM is a small-signal sampler

• Switching converter is a sampled-data system

• Duty-cycle perturbations act as a string of impulses

• Converter response to the duty-cycle perturbations can be modeled as an equivalent hold

• Averaged small-signal models are low-frequency approximations to the equivalent hold

• In DCM, at high frequencies, the inductor-current dynamic response is described by an equivalent hold that behaves as zero-order hold of length D2Ts

• Approximate continuous-time model based on the DCM sampled-data model correlates with the analysis of Section 11.3: the same high-frequency pole at fs/(D2) is obtained

• Next: current-mode control (Chapter 12)
