CNFET-based 0.1 V to 0.6 V DC/DC converter

This paper discusses a new DC/DC conversion technique for boosting very low voltage (100 mV) to 650 mV, which is the typical supply voltage for operating circuits in near-threshold and subthreshold region. The converter uses Carbon Nanotube Field Effect Transistors (CNFETs) in a hybrid inductive and capacitive circuit. The converter can boost 100 mV to 650 mV and hence is suitable for low power applications.
