Fully Integrated Step-Down Voltage Converter Simulated on 45nm to give Efficient Result

Abstract

DC-DC converters are also known as switching voltage regulators, are one of the main component of a power management unit. Their main role is to provide a constant, smooth output voltage to power the electronic devices. Switching mode DC-DC converters are critical building blocks in portable devices and hence their  efficiency and power are a major issue. This paper describes design techniques to maximize the efficiency of fully integrated switched-capacitor (SC) DC-DC converters and decrease the switching losses. The measured performance of  switched capacitor converter implemented on tanner EDA tool at 45 nm CMOS technology with 2V input voltage to support efficient output voltages.

Keywords- DC-DC conversion, switched-capacitor, switching converter.
