DC-DC converters/controllers
- Integrated switching-mode power supplies (highly-efficient DC-DC converters):
- Buck, boost, buck/boost, fly-back, … topologies
- Continuous and discontinuous
- Voltage and current mode
- Single phase or multiphase
- High-frequency – small inductance
- Asynchronous and synchronous
- Pulse width modulation (PWM) – Pulse frequency modulation (PFM)
- Integrated charge pumps and voltage doublers
- SIMO (Single-Inductor Multiple-Output)
- Integrated capacitive DC-DCs , charge pumps, voltage doublers
Battery management/charging
- Li-ion, PbSO4, ZnO2, …
- LDO regulators: low quiescent current / high current output
- Protection circuits: current, voltage and temperature overprotection
- High-accuracy charging 4.1V ± 10mV (all-in)
- Wireless charging and battery management: state-of-charge, state-of-health.
- 24V or 48V automotive supply levels
- Ultra low leakage <5nA
