Abstract
A discontinuous current mode (DCM) DC-DC converter with high efficiency is shown, which includes an inductor, power transistors providing a charging path and a discharging path for an output voltage of the DCM DC-DC converter through the inductor, a driver driving the power transistors, a load detector, and a dynamic driver controller. The load detector determines the loading state of the DCM DC-DC converter based on the output voltage. The dynamic driver controller controls the driver to provide an enhanced charging capability or a normal charging capability through the charging path, depending on the loading state.
