This thesis presents a Mixed Linear/Switching Control (MLSC) scheme for voltage regulator modules (VRM). The MLSC employs two loops of feedback compensation, inner-loop switching compensation and outer-loop linear regulation. The purpose of the switching compensation is to linearize and stabilize the buck converter under the influence of switching noise and load variation. With switching compensation, the linearized plant of the buck converter can be simplified to a first-order stable transfer function at low frequencies. Accordingly, the outer-loop linear controller can be easily designed to regulate the output voltage using the linear control theory. The advantage of the proposed MLSC scheme is two-fold: easy to design and of low circuit complexity.
There is no need of using any current detecting resistor and PWM generator, and also the stability and performance can be easily met by choosing positive controller coefficients. A 12V/1V single-phase VRM with proposed control is designed and simulated, which shows an output regulation with 0.4% steady- state output error and 7% load regulation error in response to the load current steps from 60A/1A to 1A/60A, at a slew rate of 60A/µsec.
