    摘要: The present disclosure provides a system and method for managing a four-switch BUCKBOOST converter with a combination of a Constant Off-time (COT) control and a Peak Current Mode (PCM) control. With the COT control, the four-switch BUCKBOOST converter can automatically and smoothly transition between a BUCK mode, a BUCKBOOST mode, and a BOOST mode when input voltage varies. In some implementations, the four-switch BUCKBOOST converter only requires a simple, low-power-consumption and robust system control loop compensation with the PCM control for inductor current, and, thus, eliminates the need for oscillator and slope compensation circuit. The PCM control is used to determine turn-off-timing of switches of the four-switch BUCKBOOST converter. The system control loop compensation can provide cycle-by-cycle current limit function to protect the converter and load from over-current damages.

    摘要: A buck-boost converter comprises generating a first ramp using a first current source having a current level proportional to an input voltage of a buck-boost converter, and a second ramp using a second current source having a current level proportional to an output voltage of the buck-boost converter, generating a first threshold voltage proportional to a difference between the input voltage and the output voltage of the buck-boost converter, and a second threshold voltage proportional to the input voltage of the buck-boost converter, terminating a gate drive signal of a first low-side switch of the buck-boost converter based upon comparing the first threshold voltage and the first ramp, and terminating a gate drive signal of a second high-side switch of the buck-boost converter based upon comparing the second threshold voltage and the second ramp.
