AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The inductorless filter effectively removes beat oscillations, improving output voltage stability and current balance in multiphase systems by filtering frequencies in the vicinity of the saw tooth wave frequency, enhancing circuit stability and integration.

Problems solved by technology

The problem mentioned above will become more serious in multiphase switching regulators.
The beat oscillation results in a serious imbalance between the output currents io1 and io2 of the two phases as shown in FIG. 5D, and impacts the stability of the circuit.

Embodiment Construction

[0025]The main concept of this invention is to provide a filter circuit to filter the frequency band in the vicinity of the frequency fs, such that the voltage signal Vc does not carry any side band closing to the frequency fs. In addition, this filter circuit preferably does not include an inductor, in order to facilitate circuit integration. Please refer to FIG. 7 and FIG. 8 wherein the present invention is applied to a buck switching regulator for example. The present invention provides an inductorless filter circuit 20, which can be located anywhere in the close loop between the output voltage Vo and the PWM comparator, such as but not limited to the positions shown in FIG. 7 and FIG. 8.

[0026]One embodiment of the inductorless filter circuit 20 is shown in FIG. 9. In this embodiment, a resistor R, a capacitor C, and an inductor equivalent circuit 22 constitute a notch filter; by proper design of its filtered band, beat oscillation can be eliminated.

[0027]The inductor equivalent ...

Abstract

The present invention discloses a switching regulator eliminating beat oscillation, comprising: a first transistor, a second transistor, and an inductor connected to a common node, wherein the first and second transistors operate to convert an input voltage to an output voltage; a comparator comparing a voltage signal with a saw tooth wave to generate a control signal controlling at least one of the first and second transistors; a feedback loop obtaining a feedback signal from the output voltage and generating the voltage signal according to the feedback signal; and an inductorless filter circuit located in the feedback loop for filtering a predetermined frequency band.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of Invention[0002]The present invention relates to a switching regulator eliminating beat oscillation and a method for eliminating beat oscillation; particularly, it relates to a switching regulator eliminating beat oscillation and a method for eliminating beat oscillation by means of an inductorless filter.[0003]2. Description of Related Art[0004]There are many types of switching regulators, including buck converter, boost converter, inverter converter, and mixing types such as buck-boost converter and inverter-boost converter. By way of example, FIG. 1 shows a conventional buck switching regulator 1 which comprises two transistors Q1 and Q2; the gates of the transistors Q1 and Q2 are controlled by up-gate and low-gate signals UG and LG, respectively. The switching of the transistors Q1 and Q2 controls the current amount and direction on the inductor L, so that power is transmitted to the output OUT. The signals UG and LG are generated acco...
