This paper presents a fully integrated capacitive DC/DC-converter with a gearbox type topology. By merging multiple topologies the output voltage range is increased. The dual loop digital control improves load regulation compared with a conventional hysteretic control and reduces ripple under low load operation. The converter was implemented in a 90nm CMOS technology and measurements are presented.
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.
