Fully Integrated DC-DC Converters AAli Gli Ghaharhaharyy,, By A li Ghahary, Applications Engineering Manager, Enpirion AAli Gli Ghaharhaharyy,, Inc., Bloomsbury, N.J. Dramatic improvements in the rise- and fall- time characteristics of power MOSFETs enable PWM switching frequencies to increase by an order of magnitude. The resulting drop in required inductance permits co-packaging of the inductor and the power-supply controller. n the not-so-distant past, virtually ev- recent proprietary innovations in MOSFET design, dra- ery component of a power supply was matic improvements in rise- and fall-time characteristics a discrete unit—from the controller IC have enabled switching-frequency increases of an order of to the MOSFETs and everything magnitude over what is available today. The resulting drop I around it. It was difficult and time-consuming just to lay out the board, and any changes in the design created headaches during The challenge in raising the frequency is redesign. In addition, designers had to worry about coupling the controller to the gate drive, which also the ability to maintain the efficiency of the had to be custom-designed, as well as the magnetics. The next phase of power-supply design saw the
