The best of both worlds: Fibonacci and binary switched capacitor converters combined
نویسنده
چکیده
A simple algebraic approach to synthesis Fibonacci Switched Capacitor Converters (SCC) is analyzed and the expected losses are estimated. The proposed approach reduces the power losses by increasing the number of target voltages. The synthesized Fibonacci SCC is compatible with the binary SCC and uses the same switch network. This feature is extremely beneficial since it provides the option to switch between the binary and Fibonacci target voltages, increasing thereby the resolution of attainable conversion ratios. The theoretical results were verified by experiments.

Performance Limits of Switched-capacitor Dc-dc Converters
Theoretical performance limits of twophase switched-capacitor (SC) dc-dc converters are discussed in this paper. For a given number of capacitors k, the complete set of attainable dc conversion ratios is found. The maximum step-up or stepdown ratio is given by the k t h Fibonacci number, while the bound on the number of switches required in any SC circuit is 3k 2. Practical implications, illust...

Switched-capacitor DC-DC converters are useful alternatives to inductor-based converters in many lowpower and medium-power applications. This work develops a straightforward analysis method to determine a switched-capacitor converter’s output impedance (a measure of performance and power loss). This resistive impedance is a function of frequency and has two asymptotic limits, one corresponding ...

A two stage sub-µW Inverter-based switched-capacitor amplifier-filter is presented which is capable of amplifying both spikes and local field potentials (LFP) signals. Here we employ a switched capacitor technique for frequency tuning and reducing of 1/f noise of two stages. The reduction of power consumption is very necessary for neural recording devices however, in switched capacitor (SC) cir...
