초록

본 논문에서는 휴대기기에 적합한 모드 전환 제어 가능한 듀얼 모드 벅 변환기를 제안한다. 기존의 모드 제어 회로는 부하의 변동이 급격하거나 천천히 변동하거나 둘 중 하나의 조건에서만 모드 전환이 이루어지는 문제점을 슬로우 클럭을 이용한 모드 제어 회로 기법으로 해결하였다. 그리고 PFM(Pulse Frequency Modulation) 모드에서 PWM(Pulse Width Modulation) 벅 변환기로 전환할 때에도 카운터를 사용하여 고부하를 감지할 수 있도록 하였으며 3비트의 디지털 신호로 20mA~90mA내에서 모드 전환 시점을 선택할 수 있도록 설계하였다. 이 회로는 BCDMOS 0.18um 2-poly 3-metal 공정으로 제작되었으며, 측정 결과 입력전압 3.7V, 출력전압 1.2V 부하 전류 10uA~500mA 범위에서 32mV 이하의 출력 전압 리플을 가지며 86%의 최대 전력 변환 효율을 나타내었다.

In this paper, a dual mode buck converter with an ability to change mode is proposed, which is suitable particularly for portable device. The problem of conventional mode control circuit is affected by load variation condition such as suddenly or slowly. To resolve this problem, the mode control was designed with slow clock method. Also, when change from the PFM(Pulse Frequency Modulation) mode to the PWM(Pulse Width Modulation) mode, to use the counter to detect a high load. And the user can select mode transition point in load range from 20mA to 90mA by 3 bit digital signal. The circuits are implemented by using BCDMOS 0.18um 2-polt 3-metal process. Measurement environment are input voltage 3.7V, output voltage 1.2V and load current range from 10uA to 500mA. And measurement result show that the peak efficiency is 86% and ripple voltage is less 32mV.
