Properties of the Charge-Pump Voltage Splitter

Overview Though common in many of today's DC-DC energy converters, the charge-pump voltage converter is known mostly in its doubler and inverter configurations. This article focuses on the voltage-splitter configuration, which divides a given input voltage precisely by two. After a brief review of basic charge-pump principles, two applications will be covered: the efficient generation of a regulated 3.3V from two lithium cells and the efficient derivation of a 5V supply from 10V.

Computing giants crack down on PC power waste

At the heart of the initiative is a push to get PC makers and consumers to adopt more efficient power supplies and voltage regulators. Half the energy gets converted to heat or is dissipated in some other manner in the AC-to-DC conversion.
