A 10–25MHz, 600mA buck converter using time-based PID compensator with 2µA/MHz quiescent current, 94% peak efficiency, and 1MHz BW

A time-based PID compensator that combines the advantages of both analog and digital controllers is used to implement a high frequency low quiescent current buck converter. Fabricated in 180nm CMOS process, the proposed buck converter operates over a wide range of switching frequencies (10–25MHz) and achieves better than 94% peak efficiency while consuming a quiescent current of only 2µA/MHz.
