    A single-inductance three-output RBAOT BUCK DC-DC design

    • 设计了一款适用于多电源电压应用场景的高效、低交叉调整影响的单电感三输出(Single Inductor Three Output, SITO)BUCK转换器。该转换器采用基于纹波控制的自适应关断时间(Ripple Based Adaptive Off-Time, RBAOT)环路控制方案,利用比较器的快速响应特点以提升系统性能。并引入了类锁相环电路来产生自适应关断时间,通过负反馈环路锁定转换器的开关频率,从而消除纹波控制带来的频率不固定缺点。为进一步优化负载响应速度并保护后级电路的供电范围,在能量依序分配策略的基础上引入了下冲阈值电压检测技术,从而可跳序分配能量,有效减小输出电压下冲量。设计的SITO BUCK转换器采用旺宏WH 180 nm工艺进行验证,在5 V的输入电压下,同时降压输出3个电压(1.5 V、1.8 V、3.3 V),每路通道电流范围为100 ~ 650 mA,总负载电流范围300 mA ~ 1 A。后仿真结果表示:在各种负载电流跳变情况下,转换器的开关频率均稳定在2 MHz,各输出电压的纹波系数均在1.7%以内;最大450 mA负载电流跳变下,测得的负载调整率为0.071 5 mV/mA,交叉调整为0.172 8 mV/mA;当总负载电流为450 mA时,电路峰值效率为84.69%。

       

      Abstract: The paper presents the design of an efficient Single Inductor Three Output (SITO) BUCK converter with low cross-regulation impact, tailored for applications requiring multiple power supply voltages. The converter employs a Ripple Based Adaptive Off-Time (RBAOT) loop control scheme, leveraging the fast response characteristics of comparators to enhance system performance. Additionally, a phase-locked loop (PLL)-like circuit is introduced to generate adaptive off-times, which locks the converter's switching frequency through a negative feedback loop, thereby eliminating the frequency instability issues associated with ripple control. To further optimize load response speed and protect the power supply range of subsequent circuits, the paper introduces an undershoot threshold voltage detection technique based on the energy sequential distribution strategy. This technique enables sequential energy allocation to be adjusted, effectively reducing the output voltage undershoot. The designed SITO BUCK converter is validated using the Macronix WH 180 nm process. With a 5 V input voltage, it simultaneously provides three output voltages (1.5 V, 1.8 V and 3.3 V), with each channel capable of delivering currents ranging from 100 mA to 650 mA, and a total load current range of 300 mA to 1 A. Results of post-simulation indicate that the converter's switching frequency remains stable at 2 MHz under various load current transient conditions. The ripple coefficients of all output voltages are within 1.7%. Under the maximum load current transient of 450 mA, the measured load regulation is 0.0715 mV/mA, and the cross-regulation is 0.1728 mV/mA. When the total load current is 450 mA, the circuit achieves a peak efficiency of 84.69%.
