摘要
In this paper, an integrated DC-DC (Buck) converter is presented. The Buck converter accepts input voltage in the range 2.7-5.5V while using 2.5V devices. A low drop-out (LDO) regulator is used to limit the maximum input voltage to the DC-DC switches to protect it against overvoltage breakdown. 5MHz switching frequency is used to allow using smaller external inductors. The Buck converter is implemented in TSMC 65nm CMOS technology and it occupies 0.15mm(2) while the LDO regulator, bandgap, clock generator and bias circuits occupy 0.19mm(2). Up to 88% and 77% efficiency is achieved at 2.5V and 1.2V output, respectively, using 3.6V input. If the input voltage is limited to 3.3V, the LDO regulator is bypassed, and the peak efficiency becomes 92% for 2.5V and 85% for 1.2V output.
