CMOS drive and control circuitry for 1-10 MHz power conversion

The design, implementation, and experimental evaluation of CMOS subcircuits that can be combined to implement integrated control and drive for 1-10 MHz power circuits are presented. The approach taken is to develop controller/driver ICs for a specific prototype power converter. By maximizing the performance of the different subcircuits in successive design iterations, the fundamental questions about the viability of CMOS technology for high-frequency controller/driver applications can be answered. The ability of CMOS to satisfactorily perform at these high frequencies is documented.<
