(Part 1 of this article provides an overview of basic current-mode control (CMC) circuits and demonstrates the need for slope compensation). Let's assume a typical application where V out and L are ...

Popularity and perceived advantages of current-mode control (CMC) have made it de rigueur as a loop control architecture with many power management IC manufacturers and power supply vendors. Also ...

Green energy applications such as hybrid vehicles, wind energy, and solar energy stand to reap big benefits from regulated electronic power conversion common to switch-mode power supplies (SMPS).

A battery alone may not be capable of supplying complex systems with all the voltage rails necessary to function properly. Applications such as automotive LED drivers, audio amplifiers, and ...

While current-mode control (CMC) remains the much preferred PWM scheme for switchmode power supplies, its advantages aren't automatic. Indeed, ensuring stability in a switchmode supply involves such ...
