Summary :

In this paper, a novel switched-capacitor DC-DC converter with pulse density and width modulation (PDWM) is proposed with reduced output ripple at variable output voltages. While performing pulse density modulation (PDM), the proposed PDWM modulates the pulse width at the same time to reduce the output ripple with high power efficiency. The prototype chip was implemented using 65 nm CMOS process. The switched-capacitor DC-DC converter has 0.2-V to 0.47-V output voltage and delivers 0.25-mA to 10-mA output current from a 1-V input supply with a peak efficiency of 87%. Compared with the conventional PDM scheme, the proposed switched-capacitor DC-DC converter with PDWM reduces the output ripple by 57% in the low output voltage region with the efficiency penalty of 2%.
