Voltage Mode Control with Current

Injection

The LM25115 controller uniquely combines elements and

benefits of current mode control in a voltage mode PWM

controller. The current sense amplifier shown in Figure 6

monitors the inductor current as it flows through a sense

resistor connected between CS and VOUT. The voltage gain

of the sense amplifier is nominally equal to 16. The current

sense output signal is shifted by 1.27V to produce the inter-

nal CV reference signal. The CV signal is applied to the

negative input of the PWM comparator and compared to

CRMIX as illustrated in Figure 4. Thus the PWM threshold of

the voltage mode controller (CV) varies with the instanta-

neous inductor current. Insure that the Vbias voltage is at

least 3V above the regulated output voltage (VOUT).

Injecting a signal proportional to the instantaneous inductor

current into a voltage mode controller improves the control

loop stability and bandwidth. This current injection eliminates

the lead R-C lead network in the feedback path that is

normally required with voltage mode control (see Figure 7).

Eliminating the lead network not only simplifies the compen-

sation, but also reduces sensitivity to output noise that could

pass through the lead network to the error amplifier.

The design of the voltage feedback path through the error

amp begins with the selection of R1 and R2 in Figure 7 to set

the regulated output voltage. The steady state output voltage

after soft-start is determined by the following equation:

VOUT(final) = 0.75V x (1+R1/R2)

The parallel impedance of the R1, R2 resistor divider should

be approximately 2kΩ (between 0.5kΩ and 5kΩ). Lower

resistance values may not be properly driven by the error

amplifier output and higher feedback resistances can intro-

duce noise sensitivity. The next step in the design process is

selection of R3, which sets the ac gain of the error amplifier.

The ac gain is given by the following equation and should be

set to a value less than 30.

GAIN(ac) = R3/(R1|| R2) < 30

The capacitor C1 is connected in series with R3 to increase

the dc gain of the voltage regulation loop and improve output

voltage accuracy. The corner frequency set by R3 x C1

should be less than 1/10th of the cross-over frequency of the

overall converter such that capacitor C1 does not add phase

lag at the crossover frequency. Capacitor C2 is added to

reduce the noise in the voltage control loop. The value of C2

should be less than 500pF and C2 may not be necessary

with very careful PC board layout.
