Abstract
This paper presents a new Digital Self-Oscillating Modulator (DiSOM) for DC/DC converters. The DiSOM modulator alllows the digital control algorithm to sample the output voltage at a sampling frequency higher than the converter switching frequency. This enables higher control loop bandwidth than for traditional digital PWM modulators given a certain switching frequency. A synchronised version of the DiSOM modulator is derived for interleaved
converters. A prototype interleaved Buck converter for
Point of Load applications has been designed and built to
test the performance of DiSOM modulator. The DiSOM
modulator and a digital control algorithm have been
implemented in an FPGA. Experimental results show
that the converter has a very fast transient response when
a loadstep is applied to the output. For a loadstep of 50%
of nominal output current the output voltage overshoot is
less than 2.5% of the nominal output voltage and the
settling time is just 8 switching periods.
