摘要: Switch conductance modulation techniques are demonstrated in a fully integrated multi-ratio switched-capacitor voltage regulator with hysteretic control, 22 nm tri-gate CMOS high-density MIM capacitor. We present (i) an adaptive switch-size scaling scheme for maximum efficiency tracking across wide range of voltages and currents, governed by frequency-based control law that is experimentally validated multiple dies temperatures and, (ii) simple active ripple mitigation technique modulates the gate drive select MOSFET switches effectively all conversion modes. Efficiency improvements up to 15% measured under low output load conditions. Load-independent $ 50 mV achieved, enabling reduced interleaving. Test chip implementations measurements demonstrate ease integration SoC designs, power benefits EMI/RFI improvements.
