Title
A 92.8% Efficiency Adaptive-On/Off-Time Control 3-Level Buck Converter for Wide Conversion Ratio with Shared Charge Pump Intermediate Voltage Regulator
Abstract
This paper presents an efficient 3-level buck converter with cascode power stage and the proposed shared charge pump intermediate voltage (V <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">MID</sub> ) regulator. The proposed charge pump (CP) shares flying capacitor C <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">FLY</sub> and power switches in the 3-level buck converter to generate V <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">MID</sub> =V <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">IN</sub> /2 achieving both small size and low loss. Also, conversion ratio (CR) V <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">OUT</sub> /V <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">IN</sub> is enhanced by using proposed adaptive-on/off-time (AOOT) control scheme. The control scheme switches between adaptive-on-time (AOnT) and adaptive-off-time (AOffT) mode according to the target CR. The proposed 3-level buck converter is implemented in a standard 0.25μm CMOS process showing 92.8% maximum efficiency and wide CR.
