Abstract:
Systems, apparatuses, and methods for generating a stable output voltage for one or more components by checking feedback information for an entire clock period are described. In various embodiments, a power converter generates an output voltage for one or more components. When the load current drawn by the one or more components changes, an inductor current of a low pass filter and monitored by a current sense amplifier also changes. The clock period is divided into a high phase and a low phase with one of the phases being a relatively short phase. During the relatively short phase, the current sense amplifier does not have sufficient time to measure feedback information. Instead of selecting a voltage output of the current sense amplifier, control logic selects a voltage output of a voltage generator, which emulates a voltage ramp with a slope of the inductor current during the relatively short phase.
