Embodiment Construction

[0219] Figure 13 Graphically illustrates the required voltage conversion ratio V of a DC / DC converter operating at multiple output voltages for various input voltages ranging from 1.8V to 6.6V out / V in . For example, curve 361 illustrates that for an input range of 4.5V to 5.5V, regulating a 5V output to ±1% accuracy requires operation above or below the unity conversion ratio, which means that a buck-boost regulation is required The converter maintains tighter tolerances than the typically guaranteed ±5% or ±10% accuracy of low cost AC / DC wall adapters.

[0220] Another need for a boost-buck converter arises when a LiIon battery is used to generate voltages in the middle of its wide voltage range. For example, Figure 13 Curves 362, 363, and 364 in , illustrate outputs of 4V, 3.6V, and 3.3V, respectively. Since these load voltages fall within the normal discharge voltage range of 4.2V to 3V for LiIon batteries, the converter must regulate in buck mode with a voltage co...

Abstract

A DC / DC converter includes a pre-converter stage, which may include a charge pump, and a post-regulator stage, which may include a boost converter. The duty factor of the post-regulator stage is controlled by a feedback path that extends from the output terminal of the DC / DC converter to an input terminal in the post-regulator stage. The pre-converter steps the input DC voltage up or down by a positive or negative integral or fractional value, and the post-regulator steps the voltage up by a variable amount depending on the duty factor at which the post-regulator is driven. The converter overcomes the problems of noise glitches, poor regulation, and instability, even near unity input-to-output voltage conversion ratios.
