  2. This paper proposes a complementary topology for Switched-Capacitor (SC) DC-DC converter to enhance the dynamic response. For battery charging unit with faster charging time requirement, one of the major restrictions comes from the equivalent output resistance of the SC DC-DC converter. By connecting one completely symmetric SC converter as complementary topology with the original single converter, the proposed SC DC-DC converter topology decreases the equivalent output resistance down to half. Simulated in 0.13-μm standard CMOS process, the simulation results show that this complementary SC converter gains faster dynamic response, shorter charging time, and higher energy-conversion efficiency.

    This paper introduces a non-invasive, low-cost, and trace-free capacitor freezing attack on DC/DC converters, which uses off-the-shelf electronics cooling sprays to rapidly decrease the capacitors' temperature. Due to the temperature drop, the converters are unable to maintain their specified output voltages, and their transient behavior changes. When the attack has finished, the temperature of the capacitors quickly returns to normal, while any evidence of the attack vanishes.
