AI Technical Summary
Existing SIMO DC-DC buck converters face challenges with large area requirements due to multiple compensators and slow transient response, which are not suitable for wearable devices that require miniaturization and high performance.
A compensation circuit sharing technique is introduced, where multiple output converters share a single error amplifier and compensation circuit, utilizing a ramp generation circuit to store and manage error amplifier output information efficiently, reducing the need for multiple PI compensation circuits.
This approach achieves high efficiency and reduces the chip area, maintaining high performance while addressing the transient response issues, suitable for wearable devices with varying power supply needs.
