Abstract

In this paper, a Step-down CMOS DC-DC Converter using low power switched capacitor method is designed in a 0.5 ${\mu}m$ technology for the integration of devices. Conventional DC-DC converter is used inductor that can store energy in a magnetic field but have low efficiency because power consumption is caused by magnetic flux. And there were problems with size, weight and price to integrate chip. In this paper, a proposed Inductorless step-down CMOS DC-DC converter of low power using SC method is designed in a 0.5um technology to solve these problems. Designed DC-DC converter have 96% power efficiency with 200kHz frequency by using cadence simulation.

기존의 DC-DC Converter에서는 전압 변화 및 에너지 축적소자로서 자성부품인 인덕터를 사용하여 자속 발생에 의한 전력 손실로 효율이 낮아지고, 자성부품의 부피가 크고 무거우며 가격이 비싸 반도체 칩으로 집적화하기에 문제점을 가지고 있다. 이러한 문제점을 개선하기 위해 본 논문에서는 인덕터없는 스위치드 커패시터 방식을 이용한 저전력 강압형 CMOS DC-DC Converter를 제안한다. 제안된 DC-DC Converter는 0.5um 공정을 이용하여 설계하였으며, 설계된 DC-DC 컨버터는 200kHz의 주파수로 동작하며 96%이상의 전력효율을 cadence 시뮬레이션을 통하여 얻을 수 있다.
