Abstract
Energy-efficient conversion of DC voltages is gaining more and more importance in low-power applications, especially in mobile and wireless systems. Several control techniques can be applied to achieve output regulation of a Buck DC-DC converter. In this paper a linear PID (proportional-integral-derivative) control loop, both in analog and digital domain, is derived and its performance is compared to a non-linear regulation loop based on the sliding-mode theory. A goal of this paper is to point out potential advantages and drawbacks of the different solutions. This exploration forms the starting point for the implementation of the most promising concepts in a 65 nm CMOS technology.
