This paper explores the effects of back-gate bias on switched-capacitor (SC) DC-DC converters in 28 nm UTBB FD-SOI. By using back-gate bias to optimize the control circuitry and switches, the SC converter can operate with a peak efficiency of 72% in sleep mode (100 nW load) and 83% in active mode (100 μW load).
