The PLL system adjusts the delay in the the output voltage in a monolithic, all N-channel MOSFET one-shot timer until the top MOSFET turn-on is synchro- DC/DC step-down converter. Current control is achieved by nized either to the internal oscillator or the external clock sensing the inductor current across SENSE+ and SENSE–, input if provided. As the top MOSFET turns off, the bottom either by using an explicit resistor connected in series with MOSFET turns on with a small time delay (dead time) to the inductor or by implicitly sensing the inductor’s resis- avoid shoot-through current. The next switching cycle is tive (DCR) voltage drop through an RC filter connected initiated when the current comparator, I across the inductor. CMP, senses that inductor current has reached the valley threshold point 3613fa 10
