29 12.5 Summary of key points 1. In current-programmed control, the peak switch current i s follows the control input i c. This widely used control scheme has the advantage of a simpler control-to-output transfer function. The line-to-output transfer functions of current-programmed buck converters are also reduced. 2. The basic current-programmed controller is unstable when D > 0.5, regardless of the converter topology. The controller can be stabilized by addition of an artificial ramp having slope ma. When m a 0.5 m 2, then the controller is stable for all duty cycle. 3. The behavior of current-programmed converters can be modeled in a simple and intuitive manner by the first-order approximation i L T s i c. The averaged terminal waveforms of the switch network can then be modeled simply by a current source of value i c, in conjunction with a power sink or power source element. Perturbation and linearization of these elements leads to the small-signal model. Alternatively, the smallsignal converter equations derived in Chapter 7 can be adapted to cover the current programmed mode, using the simple approximation i L i c. Fundamentals of Power Electronics 99 Chapter 12: Current Programmed Control

30 Summary of key points 4. The simple model predicts that one pole is eliminated from the converter line-to-output and control-to-output transfer functions. Current programming does not alter the transfer function zeroes. The dc gains become load-dependent. 5. The more accurate model of Section 12.3 correctly accounts for the difference between the average inductor current i L T s and the control input i c. This model predicts the nonzero line-to-output transfer function G vg (s) of the buck converter. The current-programmed controller behavior is modeled by a block diagram, which is appended to the small-signal converter models derived in Chapter 7. Analysis of the resulting multiloop feedback system then leads to the relevant transfer functions. 6. The more accurate model predicts that the inductor pole occurs at the crossover frequency fc of the effective current feedback loop gain T i (s). The frequency f c typically occurs in the vicinity of the converter switching frequency f s. The more accurate model also predicts that the line-to-output transfer function G vg (s) of the buck converter is nulled when m a = 0.5 m 2.

31 Summary of key points 7. Current programmed converters operating in the discontinuous conduction mode are modeled in Section The averaged transistor waveforms can be modeled by a power sink, while the averaged diode waveforms are modeled by a power source. The power is controlled by i c. Perturbation and linearization of these averaged models, as usual, leads to small-signal equivalent circuits.
