Abstract
A switched capacitor step-down converter fabricated in 32nm CMOS achieves a 5X improvement in response time for fast dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (DVFS). We also present a step-up converter based on a bi-directional voltage doubler, which is capable of reducing supply noise up to 45% by opportunistically borrowing current from adjacent idle power domains. Using ultra-high density deep trench capacitors, we are able to achieve an output power density of 2.78W/mm2 at a peak efficiency of 85% from the step-down converter and 0.9W/mm2 at a peak efficiency of 82% from the voltage doubler.
