Description

This project is related to the design of a monolithic digital-control dc-dc converter. The digital-control dc-dc converter offers several advantages over analog-control such as low immunity to process variations, ease of integration with other digital systems and faster design process. However, the power consumption of the digital controller of these digital-control converters is higher than that of their analog counterparts and usually implemented with off-chip field-programmable gate array (FPGA). Their transient response is also slow compared with their analog approach. In this project, a low-power monolithic digital-control dc-dc converter is developed with a fast transient response. Due to the new design technique, the controller is implemented in a single chip solution which allows the digital-control dc-dc converter to be used in many portable electronic device applications.
