摘要: Implementing efficient and cost-effective power regulation schemes for battery-powered mixed-signal SoCs is a key focus in integrated circuit design. This paper presents fully-integrated switched-capacitor DC-DC converter 45 nm digital CMOS technology. The proposed implementation uses capacitance modulation instead of traditional PFM PWM control methods to maintain against load current changes. technique preserves constant frequency switching while also scaling bottom-plate losses with changes current. Therefore, high efficiency can be achieved across different levels maintaining predictable noise behavior. occupies only 0.16 mm2, operates from 1.8 V input. It delivers programmable sub-1 supply as 69% between 100 μA 8 mA. Measurement results confirm the theoretical basis
