Adaptive gate switching control for discontinuous conduction mode DC–DC converter by Sun, Zhuochao, Chew, Kin Wai Roy, Tang, Howard, Siek, Liter

“…For a proof of concept, in this paper, a boost converter was implemented with the proposed AGSC in a 0.18-μm 3.3-V CMOS process with an area of 1.5 mm 2 . The experimental results demonstrate precise control of the gate switching operations, and the boost converter at 1.2-V/2.5-V nominal input/output achieves a peak efficiency of 86% at 30-mA load current.…”
