3.2.4 Control Summary

Figure 3-3. Average Current Mode Control for PSFB-CDR Power Stage

Figure 3-3 illustrates the comprehensive control scheme for the PSFB DCDC converter. The outer voltage loop acquires its reference through a soft-start mechanism, wherein the reference is incrementally ramped up. This outer voltage loop subsequently provides a reference to the internal current loop. Both control loops operate on a cycle-by-cycle basis.
