Preface

The focus of this work can be seen as making the bridge between the fields of SolidState Integrated Circuits (IC) and Power Electronics. Multiple AC-DC and DC–DC power converters are investigated from the IC standpoint, this means a constant effort to realize converters that are fully integrated on a single chip, or have at least a very high level of integration. Moreover, it is of paramount importance to improve power conversion efficiency throughout the transport chain of energy from source (e.g., a battery, the mains) to load (i.e., the application which is the consumer). Creating new converter systems that are very efficient and integrated into chip-scale solutions enables the benefit of longer battery autonomy in portable devices, on top of enabling ever lighter and slimmer devices. In non-mobile applications, less power is required from the mains for the same functionality, and consequently, this helps to reduce emissions related to electricity generation, such as carbon dioxide, etc. To summarize this work, a few differe
