Abstract

An integrated boost DC/DC converter that provides two different outputs with a 1.8 V input using only one inductor is presented. The converter works in discontinuous conduction mode and employs time division multiplexing in switching the inductor current to the two outputs. Synchronous rectification for high efficiency is implemented. Techniques for current sensing, inductor ringing suppression and controller design are discussed. At an oscillator frequency of 1 MHz, the conversion efficiency reaches 90% at 350 mW
