Startup circuit of low input voltage DC-DC boost converter Aiming at the problem that DC-DC boost converter cannot work properly under low input voltage, a low input voltage startup circuit based on capacitor bootstrap principle is proposed. The circuit design and simulation are carried out using CSMC\'s 0.5 μm CMOS mixed signal process library. Considering that the complex oscillator cannot work ideally under low power supply voltage, and in order to reduce the power consumption of the circuit, the circuit uses two different simple ring oscillators to realize capacitor bootstrap, and uses the feedback control module for reasonable logic control. The simulation results show that when the input voltage is 0.8 V, Vdd can be increased to 2.4 V through the boost circuit conversion; when the oscillation signal changes, the output voltage changes slightly, which can provide a stable power supply voltage for the DC-DC boost converter. Abstract: Since DC-DC boost converter chip can not normally operate with the low input voltage, a sort of startup circuit based on bootstrap capacitor principle is proposed,and the circuit can operate with the low input voltage. The circuit is designed and simulated based on CSMC 0.5 μm CMOS mixed-signal process. Since the complex structure oscillator can not well operate under a lower supply voltage, to reduce the power dissipation, two different simple structure ring oscillators are adopted to achieve the bootstrap capacitor. The reasonable logic control is accomplished with feedback control module. The simulation results show that Vdd is increased to 2.4V under 0.8V low input voltage with the boost converter, output voltage less changes when oscillations signal changes. Stable power supply is attained for DC-DC converter chip.
