For fast switching converters as recently used for low power applications, digital control may cause steady-state oscillations known as limit cycles. This effect based on a quantized duty cycle is compared to other aberrations such as output ripple voltage, which is inherent to any pulse-width modulator. A distinction is made between DC and AC errors. The latter are divided into synchronous and asynchronous output voltage disturbances. Synchronous AC errors are composed of the switching frequency and its harmonics. © 2021 IEEE. date: 2021 publisher: Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85124563666&doi=10.1109%2FIEACon51066.2021.9654272&partnerID=40&md5=c0d8f89e723f71b2c579ac83cd018233 id_number: 10.1109/IEACon51066.2021.9654272 full_text_status: none pagerange: 56 - 61 refereed: TRUE isbn: 9781728192536 citation: Schubert, Martin J.W. and Lee, Wai Kong and Ooi, Boonyaik Yaik (2021) Quantization and Sampling Effects in Fast Digitally Controlled Switch-Mode DC/DC Buck Converters.
