Method and apparatus for a switch mode power supply that genarates a high pulse width modulation gain while maintaining low noise sensitivity
Abstract
A power supply with high pulse width Mediation gain and low noise sensitivity has been disclosed. In one embodiment, a power supply includes a regulator circuit controlling a power switch. The regulator circuit includes a control input that reacives a current, which is the sum of a consumption current of the regulator and a feedback current. The consumption current of the regulator is varied as a function of the duty cycle of the power switch. The feedback current is the current in a shunt regulator, which is control current in excess of the internal consumption of the regulator.
