| Unit | Function | Key Parameters | |------|----------|----------------| | PLE | Predict next‑cycle load current based on recent activity (last 8 samples) using a two‑layer perceptron (8 × 4 × 1) with ReLU activation. | 32 bytes SRAM, 0.8 µW power | | DFS | Adjust the switching frequency f_sw between 0.5 MHz and 5 MHz to maintain a target inductor current ripple (I_ripple = 15 % of I_load). | Frequency step 0.5 MHz | | MDL | Decide buck or boost mode, and set the PWM duty ratio D = Vout/Vin (buck) or D = Vin/(Vout + V_f) (boost). | Hysteresis 50 mV | IPVR-264
– A zero‑voltage‑transition (ZVT) driver ensures that the MOSFETs turn on/off when their drain‑source voltage is near zero, suppressing shoot‑through. A soft‑switch capacitor C_ZVT stores the gate charge, enabling sub‑nanosecond turn‑on times. 3.2 Adaptive Controller (ACC) The ACC is implemented in a 6‑bit micro‑coded finite‑state machine (FSM) operating at 500 kHz. Its three functional units are: where σ is the ReLU function
