A buck switching regulator formed on an integrated circuit receives an
input voltage and provides a switching output voltage on a switch output
node using a constant on-time, variable off-time feedback control loop.
The buck switching regulator includes an amplifier comparing a feedback
voltage to a reference voltage and generating an output voltage on an
output terminal, a first capacitor and a first resistor connected in
series between the switch output node and the output terminal of the
amplifier, and a second capacitor coupled between the DC output voltage
node and the output terminal of the amplifier. The first capacitor and
the first resistor generate a ripple voltage signal which is injected
onto the output terminal of the amplifier for use in the constant
on-time, variable off-time feedback control scheme. The magnitude of the
ripple voltage signal is a function of the capacitance value of the
second capacitor.
