• A 20 mV Input Boost Converter With Efficient Digital Control for Thermoelectric Energy Harvesting (2010, background): “The DCM is more efficient when the average input current is less than half the ripple current because the CCM will discharge the output capacitor during the part of the switching cycle when the inductor current flows negative, increasing switching losses [4].”
• A constant-frequency method for improving light-load efficiency in synchronous buck converters (2005, background): “control scheme [7] whereby at heavy loads the converter operates in standard pulse-width modulated (PWM) fashion, but at light loads switches to PFM mode.”
