Power Management Integrated Circuits (Devices, Circuits, and Systems)

Power Management Integrated Circuits and Technologies delivers a modern treatise on mixed-signal integrated circuit design for power management. Comprised of chapters authored by leading researchers from industry and academia, this definitive text:

• Describes circuit- and architectural-level innovations that meet advanced power and speed capabilities
• Explores hybrid inductive-capacitive converters for wide-range dynamic voltage scaling
• Presents innovative control techniques for single inductor dual output (SIDO) and single inductor multiple output (SIMO) converters
• Discusses cutting-edge design techniques including switching converters for analog/RF loads
• Compares the use of GaAs pHEMTs to CMOS devices for efficient high-frequency switching converters

Thus, Power Management Integrated Circuits and Technologies provides comprehensive, state-of-the-art coverage of this exciting and emerging field of engineering.
