This document discusses power management circuits and provides an outline for a final year project on the topic. It defines power management as the generation and control of regulated voltages required to operate electronic systems. The document outlines the major components of power management circuits including regulators, converters, and voltage references. It also discusses areas of power management like AC-AC, AC-DC, DC-DC conversion. The project plan is to implement an efficient DC-DC converter circuit for cell phone batteries considering specifications like voltage levels, efficiency, voltage regulation and more.
