Simulation and Analysis of a Voltage-Mode Controlled Buck Converter for Energy Harvesting Application
摘要
This project explores the design and performance of a voltage mode controlled buck converter for Energy Harvesting-Power Management ICs (EH-PMIC). By employing voltage-mode control, the buck converter regulates output voltage through duty cycle adjustments based on the deviation from a reference voltage. The study presents a thorough examination of the theoretical principles, design considerations, and practical implementation of this control method. Simulations and experimental results validate the converter’s performance, with an input voltage (Vin) of 2.5 V, output voltage (Vout) of 1.5 V, and load current (Iload) of 50 mA. The design is implemented in UMC 180 nm technology. The findings highlight the voltage-mode controlled buck converter’s effectiveness in achieving precise voltage regulation and high efficiency, making it suitable for diverse power management applications.
