ABSTRACT:
A DC to DC, fixed frequency, Buck family power converter having a first feedback control loop for regulating output current or output voltage depending on the operational mode selected, a second feedback control loop for current mode control and a third feedback control loop for providing improved dynamic response for all conditions of line and load. The third feedback control loop senses the output voltage and generates a variable ramp signal having a slope (M) which is proportional to the converter output voltage. By maintaining as a constant (K) a ratio of the variable ramp slope (M) to the falling slope (M.sub.2) of a voltage representation of the inductor current in an LC network of the Buck regulator or K=M/M.sub.2, improved dynamic operation of the power converter results for a plurality of output voltages particularly improving output ripple rejection and minimizing effects of injected noise in the current mode control loop.
