Smart Hybrid DC-DC converters for Li-ion Battery Operated Portable Electronics KU Leuven
The goal of this dissertation is to develop power management integrated circuits (PMICs) for Li-ion battery-operated portable electronics that are lightweight, affordable, and efficient. On the one hand, a limited energy source, such as a small battery, mandates efficient use of energy to extend battery life. Emerging applications like internet-of-things (IoTs), on the other hand, push for incredibly smaller footprints. The traditional method of ...
