摘要： A method of determining a current in a switched mode power supply. The method comprises: storing values representing at least one pre-calculated matrix A; receiving measured current values; and using the stored values representing the matrix A and the received current values to calculate a respective initial value for each of the coefficients of the line and for each measured current value: calculating an estimated current using the equation of the line and the calculated initial values of the coefficients; determining a difference between the measured current value and the estimated current value to generate a difference value, and comparing the difference value against a threshold and, if the difference value is greater than the threshold, calculating updated values of the coefficients using stored values representing matrix A and difference value. A value for the current in the switched mode power supply is determined using the updated values of the coefficients

摘要： A digital control unit generates a control signal to control a duty cycle of a switched mode power supply such that a faster response to an input voltage transient is achieved. The digital control unit comprises a feedback compensator, a feed forward compensator, a transient detector, and a controller. The transient detector receives a signal indicative of the input voltage of the switched mode power supply and detects transients on the received signal. The feedback compensator receives a signal indicative of the output voltage of the switched mode power supply and adjusts the control signal. The feed forward compensator receives a signal indicative of the input voltage of the switched mode power supply, performs a relatively fast, but coarse, adjustment of the control signal, and then performs a more accurate, but relatively slow, adjustment of the control signal.

摘要： To calculate a control signal for the duty cycle of a switched mode power supply (SMPS), a voltage feed forward compensator is integrated into a feedback unit. A control unit has an adder with a first input to receive a signal dependent upon an output voltage. A second input receives a signal from a feedback circuit, and an output outputs a signal comprising the sum of the signals applied to the inputs; another output outputs a control signal for controlling the duty cycle, the control signal is dependent upon the output signal from the adder; a voltage feed forward compensation signal generator calculates a compensation signal to adjust the control signal depending upon an input voltage of the SMPS; and a feedback circuit between the output of the adder and the second input of the adder calculates a compensated feedback signal and to feed the compensated feedback signal to the second input of the adder.
