Summary:Summary form only given. Market trends today are driving for highly efficient power conversion in high volume portable applications. This highlights the need for high-level single-chip integration of DC-DC converters in leading edge processes with other signal-path systems. This high-level of integration is driven by system cost and form factor. Moreover, system performance and cost and special design challenges at these advanced process nodes require taking into account the voltage and reliability limitations of nanometer technologies on switching converter designs. While power efficiency is of paramount importance, other system issues are driving new methods for design robustness and ease of test. The speakers in this session present the latest integration efforts and novel techniques to improve the performance and cost of DC-DC converters.
