Abstract

A monolithic DC-DC boost converter with current-mode hysteretic control is designed and simulated in 0.18-μm CMOS technology. The system is simple, robust, and has a fast response to external changes. It does not require an external clock, and the output is regulated by voltage feedback in addition to limiting the inductor current by sensing it. A non-overlapping clock is internally generated to drive the power switches using buffers designed to minimize power dissipation. For conversion specifications of 1.8 V to 3.3 V at 150 mA, overall efficiency of 94.5% is achieved. Line regulation is 17.5 mV/V, load regulation is 0.33% for a 100 mA current step, while the output voltage ripple is below 30 mV for nominal conditions.
