Wearable devices require power management systems to achieve high conversion efficiency over a wide range of load currents. Multi-mode mixed modulation can be used in DCDC converters current range. The boost converter proposed this paper uses hybrid DGM (Deep Green Control Mode), PCMC (Peak mode control)-PFM (Pulse Frequency Modulation) and PCMC-PWM Width Modulation). switches smoothly from PCM...

In this work a monolithic architecture to realize a highperformance switching regulator with non-linear fuzzy logic control is introduced. An overview of the main issues related to PWh4 DCDC conversion in continuous mode is reported and an introduction to nonlinear fuzzy logic control is given. The main analog Fuzzy Logic blocks are illustrated and the overall architecture presented with the ma...

With the rising integration levels used to increase digital processing performance, there is a clear need for multiple independent on-chip supplies in order to support per-IP or block power management. Simply adding multiple off-chip DCDC converters is not only difficult due to supply impedance concerns, but also adds cost to the platform by increasing motherboard size and package complexity. T...

This research article addresses the evaluation of power conversion on heavy payload tethered hexarotors where the payloads are high and hovering times are long. Modifications were added to the power conversion unit based on operation reliability perspective. Since the objective power conversion is large comparing to existing tethered UAVs today, a strategic engineering approach was proposed and...

This paper reports a new functional design and modeling of a vibration energy harvester composed from a mechanical resonator (MEMS), capacitive transducer and a conditioning circuit based on the BUCK DCDC converter architecture. The basic configuration of conditioning circuit from [1][2] is enhanced with two major features for the power management allowing, firstly, to adapt dynamically to the ...

Standalone photovoltaic system requires a proper battery charge controller. The main disadvantage of photovoltaic system is its variations in output voltage. Therefore to obtain a stable voltage from solar panels, DCDC converters are used. This paper explains the use of cuk converter with MPPT technique in a photovoltaic system. The MPPT is implemented by incremental conductance algorithm with ...

This paper presents a two output class-E isolated dcdc converter that regulates the output voltages at fixed switching frequency. The converter is simulated at operating frequency of 5 MHz. The converter output power is 40 W and the output voltages are 15 V and 5 V. All the switches operate at zero voltage switching (ZVS) conditions for the full load range. The circuit configuration is simple w...
