发明名称 Sensing capacitor for constant on-time and constant off-time switching regulators
摘要 A method includes generating an output voltage using a constant on-time or constant off-time (COT) switching regulator. The switching regulator includes a switch and an output capacitor. The method also includes sensing a first current flowing through a sensing capacitor, where the first current is proportional to a second current flowing through the output capacitor. The method further includes controlling the switch based on the sensed first current. Controlling the switch could include generating a feedback voltage using the sensed first current, combining the feedback and output voltages to generate a combined voltage, comparing a scaled version of the combined voltage and a reference voltage, and triggering a one-shot timer based on the comparison. A capacitance of the output capacitor may be greater than a capacitance of the sensing capacitor by a factor of N, and a transimpedance amplifier having a gain based on N could generate the feedback voltage.
