Type III ripple circuit as described in Ripple Configuration is required for the Fly-Buck topology. Type I and Type II ripple circuits use series resistance and the triangular inductor ripple current to generate ripple at VOUT and the FB pin. The primary ripple current of a Fly-Buck is the combination or primary and reflected secondary currents as shown in Figure 13. In the fly-buck topology, Type I and Type II ripple circuits suffer from large jitter as the reflected load current affects the feedback ripple.
Selecting the Type III ripple components using the equations from Ripple Configuration ensures that the FB pin ripple is be greater than the capacitive ripple from the primary output capacitor COUT1. The feedback ripple component values are chosen as shown in Equation 15.
The calculated value for Rr is 66 kΩ. This value provides the minimum ripple for stable operation. A smaller resistance should be selected to allow for variations in TON, COUT1 and other components. For this design, Rr value of 46.4 kΩ is selected.
