The Folding Dickson Converter: A Step Towards Fully Integrated Wide Input Range Capacitive DC-DC Converters KU Leuven
© 2014 IEEE. This paper presents a novel approach to wide input range capacitive DC-DC converters. The star connected Dickson converter is used, not only for its low bottom plate voltage swing and efficient use of switches, but also for its very regular structure. This regular structure allows it to operate as a folding Dickson converter, implementing several conversion ratios, as well as reusing all of its flying capacitance. Folding is ...
