Abstract

A dual-cell switched-capacitor power converter with output PMOSs serving as pass transistors of a low drop-out regulator (LDR) is presented. Dual-loop feedback compensation with capacitor multiplier is employed. This switching LDR is fabricated using a 0.6 μm AMS CMOS process. With an input voltage of 1.8 V, a regulated output voltage of 3 V is obtained, achieving an efficiency of 81% when driving a load of 100 mA at an equivalent switching frequency of 460 kHz
