Abstract :
The requirements of modern DC/DC converters are changing rapidly with the increasing power requirements of modern micro-processors. Higher output currents at voltages approaching IV, increasing output power and the need for system miniaturization become a real challenge for designers. In this paper, we review some of the basic topologies used in DC/DC conversion and establish a link to recent developments in the power MOSFET technologies as the enabling technology to further system miniaturization and efficiency
