This paper deals with the isolated DC-DC converter with high efficiency using the minimum reactor. In this paper, the proposed convert uses the air core reactor for ZCS(zero currunt switching) which can minimize the core losses and removes the over switching losses by soft switching. The proposed converter is verified by the modes analysis and computer simulation to prove the theoretical background and adequacy.

This paper presents a design of a high-efficiency CMOS DC-DC boost converter using a current-sensing feedback method. High-precision current-sensing circuity is incorporated in order to sense the current flowing in the inductor, which determines the switching scheme of the pulse-width modulation. The external components or large chip area for the frequency compensation can be avoided while maintaining the stable operations of the converter. Various input/output voltage levels can be available through the external resistor strings. The designed DC-DC converter is fabricated in a 0.18-um CMOS technology with a thick-gate oxide option. The converter shows the maximum efficiency over 90% for the output voltage of 3.3V and load current larger than 200mA. The load regulation is 1.15% for the load current change of 100mA.

In this paper, we designed the RF-DC converter used in wireless power transmission system and studied how to design the RF-DC converter of high conversion efficiency. The RF-DC converter operate at 2.45GHz and the diode is connected with series. The RF-DC converter uses shorted stub for DC loop and matching. We can divide the RF-DC converter circuit into four blocks. The reflection coefficients between the blocks were optimized for the maximum conversion efficiency at 0 dBm input power and $1300{\Omega}$ load impedance. The final design of the RF-DC converter has a 52 percent conversion efficiency.

The power supply for the anti-aircraft radar homing sensor should allow the system to receive power quickly and stably without the influence of noise. For this purpose, DC-DC converters are widely used for reliable power conversion. Also, switching of DC-DC converters Frequency noise should not cause false alarms and ghosts that may affect the detection and tracking performance of the system, and it should have a check function that can monitor power in real time while the homing sensor is operating. In order to apply to anti-aircraft radar homing sensor, we developed a multi-output switching power supply with maximum output 𐩒𐩒𐩒 W, efficiency 80% or more (@100% load), output power by receiving 28VDC input, and power supply to achieve more than 80% efficiency. A DC-DC converter was applied to this large output, and the multi-output flyback method was applied to the rest of the low-power output.

An efficient sensing scheme applicable to DC-DC converters is proposed. The output voltage of the DC-DC converter is fed back and converted to a current signal at the input terminal of the sensor to decide if it is in the tolerable range. The comparison is accomplished by a current push-pull action. With the embedded reference current in the sensor realized from the reference voltage. The advantages of the scheme lie in the fairly accurate and efficient implementation in terms of power consumption and chip size overhead compared with conventional voltage-mode schemes as the major parameter in converting voltage to current is determined by (W/L) aspect ratio of the core transistors. In this paper, a DC-DC converter of 5V output from battery range of 2.2V${\sim}$3.6V adopting the proposed sensing scheme is implemented in a 0.35um CMOS process to prove the validity of the scheme.

In this paper, high-efficiency DC-AC converter is implemented for the wireless power transmission. The DC-AC converter is implemented by combining the oscillator and power amplifier. Because the conversion efficiency of wireless power transmitter is strongly affected by the efficiency of power amplifier, the high-efficiency power amplifier is implemented by using the Class-E amplifier structure. Also, because the output power of oscillator connected to the input stage of power amplifier is low, high-gain two-stages power amplifier using the drive amplifier is implemented to realize the high-output power DC-AC converter. The dual band harmonic suppression filter is implemented to suppress 2nd, 3rd harmonics of 13.56 MHz. The output power and conversion efficiency of DC-AC converter are 40 dBm and 80.2 % at the operation frequency of 13.56 MHz.
