2.3.2.1 Analog Switch Mode Controllers
Traditional Analog Controllers have a significant BOM (Bill of Materials) list of OpAmps, comparators,
filters, and so on. They cover just a limited range of topologies and do not adapt autonomously to
condition changes in run-time. Form factor can be poor and reusability is limited, but they are fast and
well known.

Fast
Well known
Simple IPs
Standard discreet components
2.3.2.2 Digital Switch Mode Controllers
Digital controllers are flexible, with a wide load / input range, and sophisticated reactions to condition
changes during run-time through multi-control loops. They are reconfigurable by software and can
connect to a network / HMI. A smart system can predict ageing or process variations, enabling
scalability and portability of IPs.
Digital Controllers Positive properties
Cost is higher and complexity is higher too, but there are many positive properties:
Highest efficiency over wide load and input range
Sophisticated start-up algorithms
Overload condition reactions
Auto-switch between power modes (CCMCRMDCMBurst)
Programmable / configurable by software
Multiple control loops are possible
Correct real-time performance
Prediction of system behavior
Reduction of parasitic effects
Scalable for wider ranges
IPs are easily portable: lowhigh end
Fast time to market
Sophisticated reactions to events
Communication and HMI feature
