Original research USING GENETIC ALGORITHM TO OPTIMIZE THE DESIGN OF CHARGE PUMP CIRCUITSPages 125-132
Abstract
Charge pump power converters in integrated form are used to produce different d.c. levels. The output voltage, voltage ripple, and required chip area (total capacitance) are some of the most significant performance factors that could have an impact on circuit operation. A trade-off between the aforementioned factors is necessary to improve these parameters. In this study, genetic algorithm (GA) is used as an optimization technique to produce the best design that meets predetermined criteria. The genetic algorithm is used to minimization the chip area (total capacitance) by increasing the number of stages. It is established Constraining factors also include other performance metrics. The obtained parameter values preserve performance while meeting the fitness function's minimal requirements, which include the needed chip area (total capacitance).
Keywords: Integrated CP design, Dickson CP, Cockcroft-WaltonCP, Genetic algorithm.
