In this article, is it me or does he have the terms trailing edge and leading edge mixed up? It seems to me that with peak (current) sensing should go with leading edge, and valley (current) sensing should go with trailing edge but he has it flipped.
THere seems to be trailing and leading edge modulation as well...maybe it you can mix and match modulation methods with current sensing methods. But then that means the author left out half the possibilities (and the seemingly more logical ones at that).
And googling, I find I haven't actually found anything else that pairs up leading with valley, and trailing with peak. They all seem to pair up as leading-peak and trailing-valley.
Nvm. I think I got it sort of. I thought that trailing and leading edge were referring to whether current was being sensed on the inductor current ramp-up or ramp-down, but it appears to be referring to the type of PWM modulation used. I guess leading and trailing edge are the technical terms for the types of PWM where I always thought about them as "on then off" vs "off then on" within the window of each PWM pulse.
