Will current mode give way to voltage mode as digital power supply control becomes mainstream? Quite possibly – the arguments for voltage mode are more compelling. Doubtful? Let's take a closer look.

The first major performance item to review is large-signal load-transient response performance. Here, a large-signal phrase is used in contrast to a small-signal. A small-signal transient literally ...

Digital control of switch-mode power supplies (SMPSs) is becoming practical thanks to the evolution of low-cost, high-performance devices with peripherals designed for power-conversion applications.

In switch-mode power converters, peak current control is very popular because of its inherent current limitation and ease of control. However, if the duty cycle is higher than 50%, there is an ...
