Title:
DC-DC CONVERTER WITH REDUCED ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2004084392
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A DC-DC converter includes a variable frequency oscillator (36), a control system and a power train. The DC-DC converter is well suited for use in a cell phone. The control system uses the output of the oscillator to control the power train. The oscillator varies its frequency as a function of a pseudo random number generator (60), thereby reducing electromagnetic interference caused by ripple in the output of the DC-DC converter.
