Abstract

This letter presents an automatic power-stage implementation and optimization methodology for fully-integrated reconfigurable switched-capacitor (SC) DC-DC converters with fine-grained voltage conversion ratios (VCRs). The proposed technique resolves the design challenge of a simultaneous realization of full capacitance utilization, optimal sub-cell sizing ratio, and implementation complexity reduction. It is based on the proposed partitioning algorithms and attains a significant sub-cell number reduction, particularly for finer-grained VCR designs, saving the power-stage area overhead. With a given set of VCRs and hardware constraints, the proposed methodology can generate a specific power-stage partitioning solution, including the total number and sizing ratio for the power stage sub-cells, ensuring an optimal power-stage conduction loss property under a given on-chip capacitance area. The proposed methodology is applicable to both linear and binary types of SC converters. Compared with the advanced works, the proposed method realizes the number of sub-capacitors reduction over 50% under the same VCRs. Meanwhile, over 90% of the sub-cells can be eliminated for linear-type SC converters with a VCR range of 10:1–2:1, theoretically.
