Current Mode Control Buck Converter

Hello 

I am currently using the F28069 mcu,  Is there any way to implement dead time while utilizing current mode control in a buck converter with a synchronous rectifier?

  • Hi,

    Yes it is possible on the 06x devices with some software help as shown in the attached. On the newer (07x, 37x) devices this software support is not required.

  • Where does the PCMC_Sync_buck document come from? I am having trouble locating it. Also is there any way to achieve this implementation without using interrupts. I am already running a PSFB with PCMC plus four buck converters.


    Thanks in Advance!
  • This is a document I put together some years ago to help users implement peak current mode control (PCMC) of synchronous buck/boost power stages. The TMDSHVPSFBKIT provides a good reference of implementing PCMC control for a phase shifted full bridge.

    I understand the need to avoid additional interrupts. On the 2806x devices this additional interrupt will be required. With the newer 2807x and 2837x devices additional interrupt is not required.
