Switching-regulator


Posted on Jan 21, 2013

The LTC10432 switched-capacitor building block provides nonoverlapping complementary drive to the Ql to Q4 power MOSFETs. The MOSFETs are arranged so that Cl and C2 are alternately placed in series and then parallel. During the series phase, the + 12 V battery`s current flows through both capacitors, charging them, and furnishing load current. During the parallel phase, both capacitors deliver current to the load. Ql and Q2 receive similar drive from pins 3 and 11. The diode-resistor networks provide additional nonoverlapping drive characteristics, preventing simultaneous drive to the series-parallel phase switches.

Normally, the output would be one-half of the supply voltage, but C1 and its associated components close a feedback loop, forcing the output to 5 V. With the circuit in the series phase, the output heads rapidly positive. When the output exceeds 5 V, Cl trips, forcing the LTC1043 oscillator pin, trace D, high; this truncates the LTC1043"s triangular-wave oscillator cycle. The circuit is forced into the parallel phase and the output coasts down slowly, until the next LTC1043 clock cycle begins. Cl"s output diode prevents the triangle down-slope from being affected and the 100-pF capacitor provides sharp transitions. The loop regulates the output to 5 V by feedback controlling the turn-off point of the series phase.
