A PWM/PFM Dual-Mode DC-DC Buck Converter with Load-Dependent Efficiency-Controllable Scheme for Multi-Purpose IoT Applications

Abstract: This paper presents a dual-mode DC-DC buck converter including a load-dependent, efficiency-controllable scheme to support multi-purpose IoT applications. For light-load applications, a selectable adaptive on-time pulse frequency modulation (PFM) control is proposed to achieve optimum power efficiency by selecting the optimum switching frequency according to the load current, thereby reducing unnecessary switching losses. When the inductor peak current value or converter output voltage ripple are considered in… Show more

“…Its adaptive PFM mode continuously adjusts based on the peak inductance and output voltage ripple, resulting in high conversion efficiency under light loads. However, it has a limited supported load range and may not be suitable for a wide range of applications [48]. The main performance specifications of the power control chips mentioned above are summarized in Tab.…”

“…It offers simplicity, a relatively low noise level, and a faster response controller than other controllers employed in converter applications [7]. These characteristics are good options for a remote seismic node due to the low noise exhibited in the energy harvesting system.…”

“…Los tipos de modulación por pulsos se pueden dividir entre modulación por ancho de pulso (PWM, de Pulse Width Modulation), y modulación por frecuencia de pulso (PFM, de Pulse Frequency Modulation). Ambos tipos se pueden encontrar combinados en el estado de la técnica para mejorar las prestaciones de algunas topologías [42], [43].…”
