High current, inductorless power converters

Dialog's switched capacitor DC-DC converters can be used in cascaded configuration with PMICs to make 2S battery system power regulation more efficient and reduce PCB board area and component height to less than < 50% and height to < 1 mm, compared to inductor based buck configuration.

This converter family allows system designers to transition from 1S to 2S system without any changes in their power tree. Switched capacitor DC-DC converters can be also used for direct charging of single cell Lithium batteries, reduce routing loss by 75% and enabling the usage of 3A USB cables to deliver up to 6A for charging.
