Inverting Buck-Boost Timing & Current Ripple

Parameters

\( D = \frac{|V_{out}|}{V_{in} + |V_{out}|} = \) 0%

\( T_{on} = \frac{D}{f_{sw}} = \) 0 ns

\( T_{off} = \frac{1-D}{f_{sw}} = \) 0 ns

\( \Delta I_{L(pp)} = \frac{V_{in} \cdot D}{L \cdot f_{sw}} = \) 0 A (0% of Iavg)

Avg Inductor Current = 0 A

Peak Current = 0 A

Valley Current = 0 A

Output RMS Current = 0 A (accounts for ripple and pulsing)

Input RMS Current = 0 A (accounts for ripple and pulsing)

Note: Inverting topology (positive Vin to negative Vout). Calculated duty cycle and inductor current assumes ideal components and continuous conduction mode (CCM). Closed loop control needed for accurate Vout.

Inverting Buck-Boost Converter Topology

Inverting Buck-Boost Converter – Low-side Control FET (M1), High-side Sync FET (M2), Inductor L1, Output Capacitor C1

Low-side MOSFET (control FET) connects switch node to ground during on-time (inductor charges from Vin).
High-side MOSFET (sync FET) connects switch node to negative Vout during off-time (inductor discharges to load).
