Abstract-Recent research has introduced switched-capacitor DC-DC converters with voltage conversion ratios (VCR) of up to 8. Their ability to implement any given voltage conversion ratio at a duty cycle of 50% shows promise to employ them in very high voltage conversion ratio applications. This is due to the fact that the VCR is a result of the switched-capacitor topology being used, instead of the Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) duty cycle as is the case with inductive DC-DC converters.This work aims to investigate the potential and feasibility of switched-capacitor topologies towards a monolithically integrated high voltage conversion ratio switched-capacitor DC-DC converter. Essential topology parameters and metrics that influence performance in this context are identified and their relation as function of the voltage conversion ratio is investigated. A comparison over a set of well-performing SC topologies yields a clear result, demonstrating a topology that circumvents technological weakness with topological strength and vice versa.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
