本論文提出一個輸出型態可操作在升－升壓以及降－升壓的電荷控制單電感雙輸出直流－直流轉換器。根據回授電阻的比例，第一個輸出可以操作在升壓(輸出電壓為3.3V)或是(輸出電壓為2.6V)，第二個輸出則操作在升壓(輸出電壓為3.5V)。本論文所提出的單電感雙輸出直流－直流轉換器使用TSMC 0.18μm 1P6M 3.3V model CMOS製程設計與製造，輸入電壓範圍為2.8V~~3.2V。
此作法不僅可以發展出更多應用，也可以大幅增加輸出電壓的範圍。與現今的降－升壓單電感雙輸出直流－直流轉換器相比，本論文所提出之轉換器使用了較少的開關並具備較低的交互穩壓效應，因此將更適合系統單晶片的應用。

This paper presents a single-inductor dual-output (SIDO) boost-boost or buck-boost DC-DC converter with charge control. The first output VO1 in our proposed converter can higher (output voltage 3.3V) or lower (output voltage 2.6V) than VIN according to the ratio of the external feedback resistor, while the second output VO2 only operates at boost mode (output voltage 3.5V). The proposed SIDO converter was fabricated in TSMC 0.18μm 1P6M 3.3V model CMOS technology with an input supply voltage in the range of 2.8V to 3.2V.
This work not only develops more applications but also extends the range of output voltage. Compared to existing SIDO converters, the single-inductor dual-output boost-boost/buck-boost DC-DC converter with a variable external feedback resistor that we propose in this work is more suitable for SoC applications due to fewer switches and lower cross-regulation effects.
