Although the conventional mainstream DC/DC converter control methods were voltage control or current control, the non-linear hysteresis control method has gained the spotlight in recent years. Since 2005, FUJITSU has shipped more than 100 million DC/DC converter ICs that adopt the bottom detection comparator method (a type of hysteresis control method), mainly to the commercial market. This art...
