Embodiment Construction

[0057] Preferred embodiments will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein like reference numerals represent like elements.

[0058] A preferred embodiment involves a new topology that offers the same advantages but uses only half the switches. The preferred embodiment uses 3 capacitors and 18 switches, this number is exemplary and not limiting. Figure 5 A complete power supply stage 500 is shown. Using the on / off characteristics of the switches, the switch array can be configured to give 6 different gain states: 1 / 3, 1 / 2, 2 / 3, 1, 3 / 2, 2 and 3. This task is accomplished using a three-phase clock. The clock signal is routed according to the desired gain. Figure 6A and Figure 6B The clock signal and capacitor configuration are shown separately for all gain settings. In each phase of the clock, at least one capacitor is charged from the input and one capacitor is discharged at the output. Another capacitor is used or provided for ...

Abstract

A switched-capacitor DC-DC converter has a reconfigurable power stage with variable gain ratio and / or interleaving regulation for low ripple voltage, fast load transient operation, variable output voltage and high efficiency. Since the power stage has multiple switches per capacitor, the converter exploits reconfigurable characteristics of the power stage for fast dynamic control and adaptive pulse control for tight and efficient voltage regulation.

Description

[0001] References to related applications [0002] This application claims priority to US Provisional Patent Application No. 61 / 004,095, filed November 21, 2007, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference into this disclosure in its entirety. technical field [0003] The present invention relates to direct current / direct current (DC / DC) converters, and more particularly to such converters using switches and capacitors in a reconfigurable manner. Background technique [0004] In recent years, multifunctional portable devices have grown rapidly in the electronics industry. Multifunctional modules in such devices are usually optimized at different power levels. To achieve long battery run times and low system profiles, efficient and compact power conversion circuits have become essential in these systems. [0005] Conventional switching converters provide high power efficiency but suffer from severe electromagnetic interference (EMI) noise and bulky system fo...
