D-CAP+ adds an error amplifier to D-CAP that compares VFB to VREF for better output voltage accuracy and a current sense amplifier to sense the current directly, instead of relying on output ESR to act as the sense element. D-CAP+ is a true voltage-controlled current source without a clock limitation like most variants of current mode control. D-CAP+ is used where true current sensing is required, such as multi-phase and droop-compensation (load-line) applications with one output voltage. Current sensing may be accomplished either inside or outside of the power IC depending on the device.
When to use: When high accurate current sensing is needed for load-line or multi-phase controller applications
Popular devices: TPS53661, TPS53667, TPS548C26
