In this article, a dual-mode dc to dc step-down switching regulator/converter with high conversion efficiency has been proposed for single-cell lithium-ion battery supply applications.
Abstract
This paper presents the design of a novel wide output current range dual-mode dc to dc step-down (Buck) switching regulator/converter. The converter can adaptively switch between pulsewidth modulation (PWM) and pulse-frequency modulation (PFM) both with very high conversion efficiency. Under light load condition the converter enters PFM mode. The function of closing internal idle circuits is implemented to save unnecessary switching losses. The converter can be switched to PWM mode when the load current is greater than 100 mA. Soft start operation is designed to eliminate the excess large current at the start up of the regulator. The chip has been fabricated with a TSMC 2P4M 0.35 mum polycide CMOS process. The range of the operation voltage is from 2.7 to 5 V, which is suitable for single-cell lithium-ion battery supply applications. The maximum conversion efficiency is 95% at 50 mA load current. Above 85 % conversion efficiency can be reached for load current from 3 to 460 mA.

Control Design for Optimizing Efficiency in Inductive Power Transfer Systems

TL;DR: In this article, a decoupled control technique is developed for an IPT converter with front-side and load-side dc/dc converters, where the load side converter is solely responsible for output regulation, while the frontside converter is responsible for impedance-matching of the IPT converters by controlling its input-to-output voltage ratio.
