چکیده

The paper presents design considerations for a 12-V/1.5-V, 50-A voltage regulator module (VRM) for the next generation of microprocessors. The module has stringent powerdensity and transient-response specifications, which are hard to meet with traditional design techniques. The proposed design solutions increase the VRM efficiency, as well as achieve the desired transient response with a minimum amount of the output capacitance.

Fully on-chip switched capacitor NMOS low dropout voltage regulator

This paper presents a 1.5 V 50 mA low dropout voltage (LDO) regulator using an NMOS transistor as the output pass element. Continuous time operation of the LDO is achieved using a new switched floating capacitor scheme that raises the gate voltage of the pass element. The regulator has a 0.2 V dropout at a 50 mA load and is stable for a wide load current range with loading capacitances up to 50...

Design Considerations for VRM Transient Response Based on the Output Impedance

This paper discusses the transient response of voltage regulator modules (VRMs) based on the small-signal models. The concept of constant resistive output impedance design for the VRM is proposed, and its limitations in applications are analyzed. The impacts of the output filter and the feedback control bandwidth show that there is an optimal design that allows the VRM to achieve fast transient...
