Session 12 overview: Efficient Power Conversion

The session on Efficient Power Conversion is about improvement of efficiency and versatility in switched-capacitor, inductor-based DC-DC converters, and LED drivers. The first two papers address switched-capacitor power conversion, dealing with loss mechanisms and limited ratios. The next two papers present innovative ideas in inductive switched-mode power supplies. This is followed by two LED driver solutions. Finally, the last paper revisits switched-capacitor power converters, achieving high efficiency with a very unusual approach.
