Dialog Semiconductor has announced a 10A switched-capacitor voltage divide-by-two, that operates at up to 98% efficiency, hitting or exceeding 95% at 10A.
Called DA9313, it can deliver over 50W from less than in less than 10mm2 of board area.
Applications are expected when systems are powered from two Li-ion cells connected in series, such as notebook PCs, digital cameras and portable Bluetooth speakers.
Another use is constant current charging. “For smartphone direct charging applications, it can be used as a companion to the main charger IC,” said the firm. “During the constant-current charging phase, the DA9313 by-passes the main charger and delivers 6A to the battery without exceeding thermal design requirements. With 9V from a travel adaptor, a 3A USB Type-C cable can be used instead of a more costly 5A electronically-marked Type-C cable.”
Dialog DA9313 master slaveIf 100W is required, two can be operated in a master-slave configuration – with 70μA typical total quiescent current.
Although the output is unregulated, low-impedance internal switches keep the output close to Vin/2, drooping only a couple of hundred millivolts at full load.
Dialog DA9313 effThe chip is internally clocked at 6MHz and requires, for example, flying capacitors of ≥18µF at 5V 8Arms.
Internally there are two interleaved channels, cutting current noise at the input.
Dialog DA9313 eff fixed fOperation can be fixed frequency, or variable frequency (see curves), and can move between continuous conduction mode (CCM) at high load and discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) at lower vequency.
Stand-alone operation is possible, even in master-slave, as is control via I2C, or control via a user push-button.

Close reading of the data sheet is required to determine exactly what capacitors go where.
