Abstract (en)
Buck converter for generating a regulated DC output voltage (Vout) from an unregulated DC input voltage (Vin) comprising: switch means (S1) for switching said unregulated DC input voltage (Vin) to provide a pulse train; output filtering means (Ls,Cs) for low pass filtering of said pulse train; a regenerative loop providing regenerative feed back of said pulse train through a switching control circuit (SC) to a switching control input of said switch means (S1). <??>To obtain ripple reduction in the output signal of the buck converter in accordance with the invention in particular when using low ESR ceramic output capacitors, said regenerative loop includes a loop filter circuit (Lx, Cx or Rx, Cx) coupled between an output of said switch means (S1) and said switching control circuit (SC) and provides a loop time constant substantially smaller than the time constant of said output filtering means (Ls, Cs). <IMAGE>
