DC Power Supply Design in Portable Systems

In portable systems, a number of low-voltage, low-power DC voltage supplies are needed. To provide these from a single battery source, some form of voltage conversion is necessary. To facilitate portability and conserve battery capacity, this conversion should be accomplished in minimal space and mass, with the high efficiency more easily realized in larger converters. A monolithic CMOS DC power supply could meet the severe size and efficiency requirements of a hand-held device. This chapter describes a design methodology for such converters.
