Abstract
A method for increasing performance of a voltage-buck switched-mode voltage regulator includes generating a first pulse-width modulation signal based on a clock signal, decreasing a frequency of the clock signal to form a modified clock signal, passing the modified clock signal to a digital modulation circuit as a regulated clock signal; and generating a second pulse-width modulation signal based on the regulated clock signal using the digital modulation circuit. The first pulse-width modulation signal includes a period Tand an off duration Dcorresponding to a first duty cycle. The off duration Dis an intrinsic pulse-width modulation signal generation latency. The second pulse-width modulation signal includes a period Tand the off duration D. The decreased frequency of the modified clock signal causes Tto be greater than Tsuch that a second duty cycle of the second pulse-width modulation signal is increased relative to the first duty cycle.
