Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The switch-mode power supply (SMPS) is widely used as a voltage regulator in battery-powered portable electronics because of its high conversion efficiency. These converters must exhibit a high conversion efficiency to extend the battery life and minimize the chip area to be cost-effective. Moreover, low noise characteristics should accompany this in order to achieve high performance in precision analog blocks. In recent years, an approach to improve the performances of these converters, such as conversion efficiency, range of conversion voltages and load currents, transient responses, and switching noises using a novel control technique, has received increasing attention. Replacing the conventional control scheme with a new one can yield high efficiency with improved dynamic characteristics. The readers of this Special Issue will be able to familiarize themselves with recent advances in DC–DC converters focusing on new control techniques. Topics include but are not limited to:
- Switched mode power supplies (SMPS) with new control techniques;
- Control method of SMPS for high efficiency;
- New approaches to improve the switching noise;
- Various control schemes for the transient response and the range of conversion voltages and load current;
- New techniques to construct peripheral circuits, such as start-up references and protection circuits.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Journal of Low Power Electronics and Applications is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1800 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
