Lee, Paolo Mattavelli, Senior Member, IEEE, and Pei-Hsin Liu, Student Member, IEEE Abstract—Constant frequency average current mode (ACM) control is a widely used control scheme for converters requiring precise current control. However, its transient response is relatively slow, while the switching loss and driving loss significantly dimin- ish the light load efficiency. To solve these issues, the I 2 control ACM is proposed. By combining the fast direct current feedback and integral feedback, the I 2 control achieves both wide band- width and accurate current control. As a particular embodiment of this concept, by adopting constant on-time modulation, constant on-time I 2 control needs no artificial ramp, and has a fast dynamic response. Moreover, due to the decrease of the switching frequency, constant on-time I 2 control improves the efficiency in discontinu- Fig. 1. PCM-controlled buck converter. ous conduction mode. The concept of I 2 control can be extended to other modulations. A small-signal model using the describing- To achieve an accurate current control, average current mode function-based equivalent circuit model is proposed. The model is accurate up to 1/2 switching frequency. Based on the model, the (ACM) control is widely used in power converters. Many com- design guidelines are discussed.
