This project by Ernie Bowden and Doug Sorenson presents a Multi-Mode Selectable DC-DC Converter designed for ultralow power applications. It addresses the quantization effect associated with multiple voltage sources using dithering techniques. The converter demonstrates the capability to operate with an infinite range of output values, optimizing energy efficiency. The design leverages switched capacitor concepts, focusing on regulators, selection logic, and the impact of load current on output voltage. This work also references previous research on embedded power supplies for low-power DSP applications.
