Abstract
This paper discusses the design requirement of on-chip dc-dc converter for block-level Dynamic Voltage Scaling (DVS). The target application is low-power SoC where DVS can be applied to all the implemented logic blocks. The proposed converter occupies only five bonding pads and the simulation demonstrates that the leakage current is only 84 nA in the standby mode. As shown by a set of equations based on a first order model, the proposed converter does not need any pulse frequency modulator (PFM).
