Abstract

A novel single-inductor-dual-output (SIDO) boost regulator with hysteretic control to minimize the cross interference and enable a fast transient response is presented. In order to have a predictable system switching noise spectrum, the switching frequency of the converter is synchronized to multiple fraction of a predefined high frequency according to the loads and during transient. A boost converter with 1.8V-2.4V input voltage, two regulated output voltages between 3.0V and 3.6V, each with maximum 500mA driving capability, is implemented with a 0.35μm CMOS process. Simulation results show that the load transient response time is less than 5μs and no noticeable cross-regulation can be observed when load current changes from 10mA to 500mA.
