VDDQ section - constant on-time PWM controller
The PM6670AS uses a pseudo-fixed frequency, constant on-time (COT) controller as the
core of the switching section. It is well known that the COT controller uses a relatively simple
algorithm and uses the ripple voltage derived across the output capacitor’s ESR to trigger
the on-time one-shot generator. In this way, the output capacitor’s ESR acts as a current
sense resistor providing the appropriate ramp signal to the PWM comparator. Nearly
constant switching frequency is achieved by the system’s loop in steady-state operating
conditions by varying the on-time duration, avoiding thus the need for a clock generator. The
on-time one shot duration is directly proportional to the output voltage, sensed at VSNS pin,
and inversely proportional to the input voltage, sensed at the VOSC pin, as follows:

(40 ns typ.). The one-shot generator directly drives the high-side MOSFET at the beginning
of each switching cycle allowing the inductor current to increase; after the on-time has
expired, an off-time phase, in which the low-side MOSFET is turned on, follows. The off-time
duration is solely determined by the output voltage: when lower than the set value (i.e. the
voltage at VSNS pin is lower than the internal reference V
rectifier is turned off and a new cycle begins
