The DC/DC Step-up Converter developed by X-FAB is a pivotal component designed to efficiently convert low voltages to higher output voltages, specifically generating up to +100V from a mere 3.3V input. This capability is essential for a variety of applications needing high-voltage output from a low-voltage source, such as in power management systems and consumer electronic products.
Working within the 180nm XT018 process, the converter is engineered to deliver excellent power efficiency, and is characterized by its robust performance under diverse operating conditions. It is designed to achieve high conversion efficiency, which minimizes power loss and ensures optimal utilization of the input energy. This is particularly beneficial in battery-operated devices where conserving energy is critical to extending the operational lifespan.
The converter's architecture supports seamless operation in compact designs, providing designers the flexibility to incorporate it into a wide range of applications. Its ability to handle high output voltages makes it particularly useful in powering components that require significantly higher operational voltages, facilitating sophisticated system designs in automotive and industrial applications.
