DC–DC Converter-Aware Power Management for Low-Power Embedded Systems
2007
IEEE Transactions on Computer-Aided Design of Integrated Circuits and Systems
Most digital systems are equipped with dc-dc converters to supply various levels of voltages from batteries to logic devices. DC-DC converters maintain legal voltage ranges regardless of the load current variation as well as battery voltage drop. Although the efficiency of dc-dc converters is changed by the output voltage level and the load current, most existing power management techniques simply ignore the efficiency variation of dc-dc converters. However, without a careful consideration of
