Dynamic Voltage Control
Some newer power management applications also require an
ability to adjust the voltage being delivered to a load during
operation. Although there is no integration of this feature in the
ADP3088, it can readily be accommodated with a few compo-
nents. Dynamic voltage control can be implemented either by
parallel bus control or by PWM. In both cases, the output voltage
switched bits or a single PWM signal, has an active pull-up state
(in which case it must be to a known voltage) or a passive pull-up
(open drain) that floats up to the FB node voltage, 1.25 V, in its
high state. If at least the lower extreme of the desired output
voltage range must be lower than 1.25 V, either technique can
be combined with the technique for lowering the output voltage
below 1.25 V. Such an example of an application having this
requirement is the Blackfin® DSP. Figure 5 shows an implementa-
tion of this technique.
Input Voltage: 4.75 V ~ 7.5 V
is modified by summing either switched bits with, presumably
binary, weighting resistors or a switched PWM node via a single
resistor into the FB pin. (The switched PWM node refers to an
external PWM control signal, not the switched node of the power
converter itself.) Since the PWM technique modulates a current
into the FB node, it is necessary both to integrate that signal
E and to avoid slowing down the response of the power converter
to the output voltage transitions. This can be accomplished by
placing a capacitor between the output voltage and the feedback
node, which serves to provide a zero/pole pair in the main regu-
T lation loop and appears as an integration pole to the PWM signal.
