چکیده
In this paper, an overview of recent advances in digital control of lowto medium-power dc-dc switching converters is presented. Traditionally, analog electronics methods have dominated in controlling such dc-dc converters. However, with the steadily decreasing cost of ICs, the feasibility of digitally controlled dc-dc switching converters has increased significantly. This paper outlines a sample of digital solutions for dc-dc switching converters to enhance the dynamic performance of dc-dc switching converters. Furthermore, latest research activities pertaining to applications for dynamic performance improvement, such as controller auto-tuning, capacitor charge balance control, are discussed. These applications demonstrate the significant advantages and potentials of digital control.
