Analysis of Ripple Effects on Frequency Response Characteristics of Switching Regulators Eiji Sakai and Masatoshi Nakahara Energy Electronics Laboratory, Sojo University, Kumamoto, Japan Abstract—In this paper we clarify for the buck-boost CONVERTER converter that the ripple effect is not ignorable for the frequency response, and reveal that it causes the unexpected G characteristics where either the phase lag or the phase lead appears depending on the shape of the ramp generator of H the PWM circuit. Eventually the phase margin for the K stability drastically changes depending on the slope PWM direction (normal or reverse) of the ramp generator even in ERROR AMP the same circuit configuration. For the ripple effects we propose the general analysis model and analyze them of the buck-boost converters. As the result we identify that the Figure 1. PWM controlled switching converter. ripple effects are caused mainly by the variation of the slope and the average of the ripple, and reveal that the buck-boost the phase lag or phase lead appears depending on the converter has the asymmetric characteristics for the slope shape of the ramp generator even in the same buck-boost direction of the ramp generator and there is more circuit configuratio
