Low Conversion Ratio VRM Design

چکیده
This paper discusses the design considerations for low conversion ratio voltage regulation modules (VRM’s) for the next generation of microprocessors, focusing on the handling of large, high-slew-rate current transients. A converter topology which deploys an inductive clamp to handle the unloading transients, while operating at a modest switching frequency, low current ripple, and low power dissipation, is discussed. The clamp response is analyzed, and simulation results for a 1 MHz, 100 A, 12-to-1V VRM are presented.

Design of a Novel Voltage Regulator Module (VRM) with Fast Transient Response
In this paper, a new circuit of power supply for microprocessors, named as switched-inductor multiphase voltage regulator module (VRM), is presented and designed. One of the main requirements of VRMs for today’s microprocessors is fast transient response. The other issues associated with conventional VRMs are small duty ratio, large ripple and low efficiency. A solution to the limitations of th...
متن کاملDesign and experimental validation of a multiphase VRM controller
By combining the concepts of multiple-sliding-surface and integral-variable-structure controls, one can develop a robust controller for a multiphase 9V VRM, which comprises four parallel DC–DC synchronous buck convertors operating at 300kHz. The advantages of the control scheme are its simplicity in design, good dynamic response, robustness, ability to nullify the bus-voltage error and the erro...
