Background
Hybrid DC-DC Converters are becoming a key building unit in power management applications. They combine the merits of both switched-capacitor converters (SCCs) and switched-inductor converters. So far, utilizing hybrid converters has caused a leap in reducing the total volume of DC-DC converters; serving the ever decreasing form factors of electronic platforms. Furthermore, researchers are pushing the limits of hybrid converters to have a fully integrated DC-DC converter with adequate efficiency.

Project Objectives
Project Objectives
The project target is to investigate and implement a state-of-the-art hybrid DC-DC converter, similar to the design recently introduced by Intel in [1]. This includes: understanding the concepts of hybrid DC-DC converters in general, system level design of the target converter, circuit level implementation of the different building blocks, and finally, complete system integration and verification using circuit level blocks.
