چکیده
This paper presents a study of resonant converter topologies targeted for CMOS integration. An improved new method to design efficient monolithic Quasi-Square-Wave converters is proposed. A power loss model of the power stage including the driver circuits used on the design method permits to optimize the design parameters for the power stage and conclude about the technology limitations. Based on this method and taking as reference the 0.35μm CMOS technology from AMS a buck converter operating at 70MHz is designed. Simulation results of the buck converter design are presented.

A High Efficiency Low-Voltage Soft Switching DC–DC Converter for Portable Applications
This paper presents a novel control method to improve the efficiency of low-voltage DC-DC converters at light loads. Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) converters have poor efficiencies at light loads, while pulse frequency modulation (PFM) control is more efficient for the same cases. Switching losses constitute a major portion of the total power loss at light loads. To decrease the switching losses...
