本論文中完成一脈衝寬度調變電流模式控制器的設計與實作。一般市售之電源管理控制晶片為了保有更高的使用自由度以及符合各種不同需求之相關升降壓電路，通常不會包含補償電路。本文所提出之控制器為一內建輸入電壓3.3 V輸出電壓5 V最大功率10 W升壓轉換器之迴路補償電路，為整合太陽能後端充電器模組以增加實用性和便利性，此控制器能幫助縮小電路面積及減少外部元件，係電流模式控制而非電壓模式控制，因電流模式控制比電壓模式控制有較快的暫態反應。對電流模式控制而言，電感電流為一相當重要資訊，為防止諧波振盪的現象，須偵測電感電流訊號並將之與斜率補償之三角波訊號結合，
此脈衝寬度調變電流模式控制器是使用台積電(TSMC)所提供的0.18µm RF CMOS 1P6M 1.8V/3.3V 混合訊號互補式金氧半製程來製造。晶片全部面積大小約0.812*0.825 mm2，功耗為10 mW，轉換器在負載電流0.75 A~2 A，輸出電壓5 V情況下最高效率為86%。

In this thesis, a pulse-width modulation (PWM) current mode controller is designed and implemented. In order to increase the flexibility of usage and to cover a wide range of design specifications, conventional power management ICs in the market do not include a compensation circuit. The proposed controller is comprised of a compensation circuit for the converter which has an input voltage of 3.3 V, an output voltage of 5 V and a maximum power of 10 W. For the applicability and convenience of a solar-based converter module, the proposed controller IC can minimize the PCB area and the number of components outside the chip. Compared to the voltage mode, the current mode control has the advantages of better transient response, easy compensation, etc. The total chip area is 0.812×0.825 mm2. The maximum efficiency is 86% at an output voltage of 5 V when the load current is in a range from 0.75 A to 2 A. Finally, this chip is fabricated with the TSMC SMC 0.18 µm RF CMOS 1P6M 1.8/3.3 V process.
