General Small-Signal, Low-Frequency Analysis of Switching Regulators

  • Chapter
Dynamic Analysis of Switching-Mode DC/DC Converters

Abstract

The switching cell is one of the functional blocks in the closed-loop regulator structure. With the regulating loop closed, the controlled quantity of the switching cell is no longer an independent variable; it is determined by other functional blocks in the closed-loop system. The system shown in Figure 3–1 operates as follows. The input to an error amplifier G is an error signal: the difference between the output voltage u and a reference level E REF(the desired value of the output voltage). The Laplace transform of the ac component of the output voltage is U*. The error-amplifier output is the driving signal for circuit N, whose output defines the controlled quantity of the switch.
