Abstract
An integrated single-inductor dual-output boost converter is presented. This converter adopts time-multiplexing control in providing two independent supply voltages (3.0 and 3.6 V) using only one 1-μH off-chip inductor and a single control loop. This converter is analyzed and compared with existing counterparts in the aspects of integration, architecture, control scheme, and system stability. Implementation of the power stage, the controller, and the peripheral functional blocks is discussed. The design was fabricated with a standard 0.5-μm CMOS n-well process. At an oscillator frequency of 1 MHz, the power conversion efficiency reaches 88.4% at a total output power of 350 mW. This topology can be extended to have multiple outputs and can be applied to buck, flyback, and other kinds of converters.Keywords
