Wide Load Range Buck Converter Using Clocked Hysteresis Control for IoT Sensor Nodes
○呉 仲祥,高宮 真,桜井 貴康(東京大学)
A buck converter with newly proposed Clocked Hysteresis Control has been developed that achieves conversion efficiency of 90.4% at 1μA load current and almost flat efficiency in whole load current range. Continuously-on comparators in the conventional hysteresis control is removed to improve the conversion efficiency under light load current conditions while maintaining a fast transient response.
