The aim of the project is to propose a simple digital current mode control technique for dc-dc converters. In the proposed current mode control method, the inductor current is sampled only once in a switching period. A Compensating ramp is used in the modulator to determine the switching instant analytically from the steady state condition . The trajectory of inductor current during the switching period is not estimated in this method. It effectively increases the maximum switching period of the converter when a particular controller is used to implement the control algorithm. It is showed that proposed digital method is versatile enough to implement the control algorithm any one average, peak and valley current mode by adjustment of the sampling instant of the inductor with respect to turn –on instant of the switch. The proposed digital current mode control algorithm is tested on a 12-V input and 1. 5-V,7A output buck converter is switched at 100 KHZ and experimental results are presented.
