Preface

The work for this book was initially driven by automotive applications, with the goal to do research on how point-of-load voltage converters, supplying electronic components, can be made smaller and cheaper in order to reduce size and cost of the electronics. The main objective was to investigate the impact of an increasing switching frequency into the multi-MHz range to reduce the size of the passives in inductive switching converters. The initial target was to supply the converters directly from a conventional 12 V car battery. As automotive applications need to tolerate largely varying battery voltages up to 40 V and above, it was set by the applications that the increase of the switching frequency needs to be investigated in combination with high input voltages of the converters. This combination represents a main limitation not only for the converter efficiency but also for the circuit design, which has been the main driver for this work. During the research of the work for this book, a trend emerged in several applications to increase the system supply voltage. Higher supply voltages enable a more efficient power delivery to the electronic components with lower currents and thus lower wiring costs. In consequence, the maxi
