8.3.1 Controller Circuit

The device is controlled by a hysteretic current mode controller. This controller regulates the output voltage by keeping the inductor ripple current constant in the range of 200 mA and adjusting the offset of this inductor current depending on the output load. In case the required average input current is lower than the average inductor current defined by this constant ripple the inductor current gets discontinuous to keep the efficiency high at low load conditions.

The output voltage VOUT is monitored via the feedback network which is connected to the voltage error amplifier. To regulate the output voltage, the voltage error amplifier compares this feedback voltage to the internal voltage reference and adjusts the required offset of the inductor current accordingly. An external resistor divider needs to be connected.

The self oscillating hysteretic current mode architecture is inherently stable and allows fast response to load variations. It also allows using inductors and capacitors over a wide value range.
