Abstract
Compensation capacitor voltages of DC-to-DC converters are pre-set without switching to enable smooth transition from sleep mode to active mode. Appropriate compensation capacitor voltages are set regardless of the length of no-switching sleep period or input voltage change. Therefore the converter can always start with appropriate error amplifier and duty conditions, and avoid output voltage disturbance when the PWM control loop takes over in active mode the control of buck converter. The appropriate capacitor voltages are enabled by creating a local PWM feedback loop of a PWM control loop without enabling the output stage. This local PWM feedback loop works intermittently and always sets the appropriate voltage for the error amplifier and compensation capacitor.
