Abstract

A novel regulator topology is proposed to achieve high power efficiency for a wide range of output load current. The proposed topology consists of a switched-capacitor regulator and linear low-dropout (LDO) regulator that operate in a parallel fashion. Switched-capacitor circuit not only achieves voltage conversion, but also performs coarse voltage regulation via frequency modulation. The LDO performs fine regulation. The proposed topology, implemented in 45 nm technology, converts the input voltage of 1.15 V to an output voltage of 0.5 V while supplying up to 120 mA current. 80% power efficiency is achieved at a load current of 80 mA. The efficiency is maintained above 60% as the load current varies between 20 mA and 120 mA. The maximum ripple voltage is less than 50 mV.
