Zero-steady-state-error compensation method in application of peak current mode buck converter with fast transient response

A novel zero-steady-state-error (ZSSE) compensation technique based on an accurate small signal model of peak current mode buck converter is proposed for optimising the microprocessors with low power consumption needing high-definition voltage scaling. This technique eliminates the steady-state error of output voltage without negatively affecting the transient response. The main parasitic parameters of the buck converter are taken into consideration to design an excellent ZSSE compensation module; the relationships between the parameters of the compensation circuit and parameters of the other parts of the converter have been derived in this study. This technique has been implemented on a prototype. The validity of this method is shown and confirmed by test results.
