A monolithic quasi-fixed-frequency DC-DC boost converter with a modified-adaptive-off-time (MAOF) control is presented. To achieve a quasi-fixed-frequency in whole loading range, the new MAOF control is able to overcome the frequency variation problems naturally exist in traditional adaptive-offtime control in both continuous-and discontinuous-conductionmode (CCM and DCM) operations. The MAOF control boost converter was implemented with a 0.35μm High Voltage (HV) CMOS process. With 3V -4.2V input voltage, 10V -14V output voltage and 30mA -300mA load current range, simulated results show that the switching frequency keeps constant at 960kHz to within ±5% across the whole operation range.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
