Abstract
The present disclosure provides a DC-DC switching converter architecture that utilizes the chip's thermal capacity effectively by implementing adaptive switching frequency scaling over the operation region, keeping the die/package temperature constant. The power budget is effectively utilized, and the external components such as capacitors, inductors, and pass device sizes are reduced, thereby increasing the efficiency of the switching converter. An adaptive frequency scalar is optimized, avoiding losses, especially at high loads. The larger the input and output voltage ranges, the bigger the benefit the disclosure becomes.
