8.2.9 Pulse-Width-Modulation (PWM) Control

The regulator employs a fixed frequency pulse-width-modulator (PWM) control method. First, the feedback voltage (VSENSE pin voltage) is compared to the constant voltage reference by the high gain error amplifier and compensation network to produce a error voltage. Then, the error voltage is compared to the ramp voltage by the PWM comparator. In this way, the error voltage magnitude is converted to a pulse width which is the duty cycle. Finally, the PWM output is fed into the gate drive circuit to control the on-time of the high-side MOSFET.
