The inductor value of the frequency synchronous DC–DC converter is related to the operating switching frequency. In order to optimize the performance of stability, transient response and load capability, this paper presents a switching frequency adaptive slope compensation circuit. The circuit adjusts the slope compensation by automatic operation according to the synchronized switching frequency to avoid excessive compensation. The proposed circuit has been implemented in a high voltage buck DC–DC converter with 0.6 μm CDMOS process. The test results indicate that fast transient response and load capability are realized and the stability is achieved without sub-harmonic oscillation in the whole synchronous frequency range.
