Abstract

This chapter discusses the advances of the next leap in integrated power management beyond the scope of today’s DC-DC converters: the interaction with AC. Both AC to DC and DC to AC conversion with the intention of eventually interfacing mains voltages are investigated and reported on. The AC-DC conversion research aims to interface the mains voltage while achieving a high level of integration and compatibility to low voltage CMOS circuits, enabling power supply straight from the wall socket. Alternatively the reverse interaction from DC to AC is investigated similarly and targets inversion of low voltage DC values to higher AC values for driving purposes. Because of the integrated approach, the bill of materials is drastically reduced.
