Overview

This universal buck converter reference design features a voltage mode buck converter in combination with a tiny, onboard electronics load to demonstrate the relationship in-between small-signal analysis in frequency domain (network analysis) and large signal analysis in time domain (transient response). The loop bandwidth has been squeezed to maximum with a crossover frequency at 20 kHz+. When using this converter design in mass production, it is recommended to use compensation values for a crossover frequency of 15 kHz with a safe-gain margin. In this design, the loop bandwidth has been exhausted to test Bode function of measurement equipment and demonstrate the impact of drain jitter (subharmonic noise) regarding power integrity.

Features
  • Extra-low input voltage < 16 V for safety reasons
  • 2.5-mm jack to use cost-effective 12-V wall adapter
  • Input filter to demonstrate attenuation of reflected ripple (conducted emissions)
  • RC snubber circuit to demonstrate RF ripple reduction (radiated emissions)
  • Load and load control could be fully disconnected from input and output for efficiency measurement
  • Numerous test points to access all voltages and waveforms
