Zusammenfassung: | This paper proposes a high-efficiency DC–DC converter with charge-recycling gate-voltage swing control with a light load. By achieving a variable gate-voltage swing in a very efficient manner by charge recycling, the power efficiency has been substantially improved due to the lower power consumption and the achieved balance between the switching and conduction losses. A test chip was fabricated using 65-nm CMOS technology. The proposed design reduces the gate-driving loss by up to 87.7% and 47.2% compared to the conventional full-swing and low-swing designs, respectively. The maximum power conversion efficiency was 90.3% when the input and output voltages are 3.3 V and 1.8 V, respectively. |
