Efficient performance, functionality, small profile and low cost are the most wanted features for mobile power management ICs. Compared with the discrete switching DC-DC converter, monolithic integration brings a lot of benefits and new design issues. In this work, a monolithic low voltage high efficiency step-up DC-DC converter for nickel metal hydride or alkaline battery powered applications is designed, based on a low voltage CMOS process. Several novel design concepts are proposed for compensator design, low voltage startup, light load efficiency and power device optimization.","PeriodicalId":303825,"journal":{"name":"2004 Proceedings of the 16th International Symposium on Power Semiconductor Devices and ICs","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-05-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130128512","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Furthermore, we present the experimental results for an actual prototype fabrication. The on-resistance and breakdown voltage are respectively 27 mohm.mm/sup 2/ and 49 V.
