Coupled Inductor Design Optimization for Fast-Response Low-Voltage DC-DC Converters
نویسندگان
چکیده
Multiphase voltage regulator modules (VRMs) for microprocessor power delivery with coupled output inductors are discussed. Strong coupling is shown to be feasible and effective at reducing ripple if the correct magnetic topology is used. For more than two phases, this can be a “ladder” core with windings around each rung. Typical ripple reduction is better than a factor of six with no effect on response time. One can also chose to improve response time while still significantly reducing ripple. A simultaneous numerical optimization of the magnetics and the circuit is used to minimize loss in a fast-response 100 A design.
