Problems solved by technology

Known "buck-boost" converters can operate automatically with input voltages greater than, less than, or equal to the output voltage, but cannot maintain high efficiency over a wide range of input voltages
The buck-boost converter has proper efficiency only when the input voltage is close to the output voltage, but when the input voltage is greater than the output voltage, the buck-boost converter is much less efficient than the buck converter, and When the input voltage is less than the output voltage, the efficiency of the buck-boost converter is much lower than that of the boost converter

Abstract

Methods and apparatus are disclosed for suppressing circuit noise due to parasitic elements in switch mode power supplies. The presented embodiments use actively controlled damping devices such as controllable resistors, current sources, and tri-state power devices to achieve required damping and to minimize power loss.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims priority to US Provisional Patent Application No. 60 / 639,739, filed December 28,2004. technical field [0003] Embodiments of the invention described below relate generally to switch mode power supplies and switching regulators, and more particularly to methods and apparatus for suppressing circuit noise caused by parasitic elements. Background technique [0004] Due to their high efficiency, switched-mode power supplies (SMPS) are widely used in power electronic circuits, such as CPUs, DRAMs, and ASICs. Unlike a power device used in a linear regulator, a power device in an SMPS functions as an on (ON) or off (OFF) switching element. Therefore, conduction power loss can be minimized. However, the switching action of these power devices will often result in unwanted high frequency oscillations due to at least one of the following reasons: [0005] a. Parasitic inductance in circuit board layou...
