Abstract
A boost converter includes an inductor and a diode electrically connected in series between an input voltage and an output voltage; a transistor electrically coupled to an interconnected node of the inductor and the diode; and a controller that controls switching of the transistor according to a transient mode and an estimated load current. The output voltage in a light-to-heavy load transient mode has at least one first valley point with a value of a transient voltage threshold, followed by at least one second valley point with a value higher than the first valley point, before exiting the light-to-heavy load transient mode.
