Design of Hybrid Low Voltage DC/DC Converters Based on Power Efficiency
With the increasing use of portable electronics, the autonomous devices that are supplied by the energy harvested from the environment, are very attractive, but they need an efficient DC/DC conversion for boosting low voltages to the typical supply voltages of the integrated circuits.
In this paper, a comparison is presented between standard Bulk CMOS and Silicon On Insulator technology, focusing on the efficiency of ultra-low voltage DC/DC boost converters.
