Abstract
A primary issue in the design of a conventional on-chip voltage converter is the physical area. The on-chip passive LC filter within a monolithic buck converter occupies a large area. Multiple on-chip buck converters are therefore infeasible due to the significant area of the passive components (such as in a multi-voltage microprocessor).
