Module 2: Introduction to Control Algorithms in Switching Regulators

An overview of how switching is controlled in switching regulators. Focuses on three popular control algorithms: constant on-time, voltage mode control and current-mode control.

A very useful series of videos, thank you.

Awesome video, very well done. "Noise margarine" made me laugh!

Thank you for the great tutorial on control algorithms in switching regulators ! It would help if you use a pointer.

Thanks Maxim and Thank Professor Mammano. I have two questions:
1) Analyzing the type ii compesator, what relationship have the R1 shown at 15:36 (let's call it simply "R") and R1 and the Rb shown at 17:07. Is it R the parallel of R1 and Rb?
2) How can I do the slope compensation circuitry without loading the RC pin of a CMC controller which does not have slope compensation pin?
Thanks for reading and for your help.
Best regards.

Current-mode control is your point of strength, but it does not explain how you create the current sensing. At minute 9:00 of the video, the diagram shows a wire goes on the Rcs resistance, I think is a sensor that indirectly reads the current ripple. Is it correct?

Hi, will this control algorithm can be applied to a boost converter?Will there be any changes in its advantages and disadvantages? Do you have a video or related literature of using the control algorithms for boost converter?Thank you.

when you come to a pause just be quite. There is no need to smack your fucking lips.

why the hell do power electronics guys always smack their god damn lips???
