The LMZ10500 is a synchronous Buck power module using a PFET for the high side switch and an NFET for the synchronous rectifier switch. The output voltage is regulated by modulating the PFET switch on-time. The circuit generates a duty-cycle modulated rectangular signal. The rectangular signal is averaged using a low pass filter formed by the integrated inductor and an output capacitor. The output voltage is equal to the average of the duty-cycle modulated rectangular signal. In PWM mode, the switching frequency is constant. The energy per cycle to the load is controlled by modulating the PFET on-time, which controls the peak inductor current. In current mode control architecture, the inductor current is compared with the slope compensated output of the error amplifier. At the rising edge of the clock, the PFET is turned ON, ramping up the inductor current with a slope of (V_IN – V_OUT) / L. The PFET is ON until the current signal equals the error signal. Then the PFET is turned OFF and NFET is turned ON, ramping down the inductor current with a slope of V_OUT / L. At the next rising edge of the clock, the cycle repeats. An increase of load pulls the output voltage down, resulting in an increase of the error signal. As the error signal goes up, the peak inductor current is increased, elevating the average inductor current and responding to the heavier load. To specify stability, a slope compensation ramp is subtracted from the error signal and internal loop compensation is provided.
