Abstract

This paper presents pulse-frequency modulation(PFM) to improve the light-load efficiency. The proposed circuit is designed by using the device parameter of standard $0.13{\mu}m$ CMOS process. The performance of proposed circuit is evaluated by HSPICE simulation Measured efficiency in a light-load is measured 78-90 % for 0.1 to 100mA output current.
