Abstract: A charge-pump device receives two complementary driving signals and a DC signal that are applied to a charge-pump stage containing a full-wave rectifier bridge configured to deliver a DC output signal. The bridge includes active switches controllable by control signals present at two control nodes. The charge-pump device further receives complementary auxiliary signals that are respectively synchronous with the complementary driving signals but have faster edges. Two resistive capacitive filters filter the complementary auxiliary signals to generate control signals at the two control nodes for controlling actuation of the active switches in the bridge.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for detecting a critical duty cycle that maximizes an output power of a boost converter is provided. In the method and apparatus, the boost converter may be operated at or below the critical duty cycle. In the method and apparatus, a first voltage that is a function of an output voltage of a boost converter and voltage drops across a first set of parasitic resistances of the boost converter is detected. A second voltage that is a function voltage drops across a second set of parasitic resistances of the boost converter is also detected. The voltages are compared to determine the critical duty cycle and the boost converter is operated in accordance with a duty cycle that does not exceed the critical duty cycle.
