Abstract
A DC-DC switching converter, with a low IQ hysteretic-PWM automated hybrid control architecture, switching from a first mode to a second mode, when load current changes, is described. The DC-DC switching converter provides a simple architecture for a Boost converter, with efficiency high over the entire load range, and with a hybrid hysteretic-PWM control providing a way to automatically switch between modes, without the addition of a sensing element or system complexity. The switching converter uses a voltage comparator to detect the output current is below a certain threshold. A comparator on the error voltage detects the average value of the error signal with relation to the sawtooth signal. If the average value of the error signal is below a threshold for longer than a programmable timer, the main loop is turned off and the system goes into burst mode.
