  • Abstract
    This paper proposed a novel controlling technique of pulse width modulation (PWM) mode and pulse frequency modulation (PFM) mode to keep the high efficiency within width range of loading. The novel control method is using PWM and PFM detector to achieve two modes switching appropriately. The controlling technique can make the efficiency of current mode DC-DC buck converter up to 88% at light loading and this paper is implemented by TSMC 0.35 mum CMOS process.
