pulse translation technique to control charge and the inductor current in a cycle in contrast to a modulation technique based on compensation that adjusts the duty cycle of the pwm control signal a pulse of a nominally unaltered pulse width is just translated in time application_number US 201514626986 A description a power converter as shown in fig1 is operated in a compensation free method of charge control the controller 16 generates a pwm control signal for switching the switchable power stage wherein the pulsed control signal is forwarded to the high side fet 12 and the complement of the control signal is forwarded to the low side fet 13 the controller 16 generates a pulsed control signal that resembles a constant frequency pwm control signal as shown in fig3 a for the steady state when a load transient occurs the controller generates a pulsed control signal that resembles a constant frequency pwm control signal with a pulse 32 33 translated in phase compared to steady state pulse 31 as shown in fig3 b and fig3 c the vertical dotted lines indicate the boundary of a cycle to increase the charge in a cycle the controller 16 advances the pulse 32 as shown in fig3 b the dotted line indicates the inductor current for the constant frequency control signal in.
