Closed loop diode emulator for DC-DC converter

   
   

A diode emulator for a DC--DC buck converter employs a variable current ramp-based circuit that monitors the state of the phase voltage at the common node between two power switching devices. Incrementally with each pulse width modulation cycle, the diode emulator adjusts the time of turn-off of the lower power switching device, until the monitored phase voltage indicates that the emulator is effectively tracking the negative going, zero-crossing of the ripple current through an output inductor.
