Server and computer system architecture has increased in tandem with power delivery (PD) requirements in recent decades. This complicates regulator design since it necessitates a compromise between ...

Power supplies for today's high-performance microprocessors require high-current, low-voltage dc-dc converters with fast transient responses. Such supplies must deliver currents of greater than 100 A ...

Simulations cover dc-dc converters operating at 20- to 80-A of output at 1.1 to 1.85 V, with switching frequencies from 200 to 1000 kHz. The myPower tool generates waveforms for step loads, changing ...

Synchronous buck converters have received great attention in low power, low voltage DC-DC converter applications in recent years due to their high efficiency. International Rectifier Inc. has ...

Multiphase buck converters are used to satisfy the power demands of the latest AI processors, but when it comes to checking power integrity engineers are faced with extra requirements. By Nick Le Bas.

A 12V, 10A, 10MHz series-capacitor buck converter from Texas Instruments is said to have a current density of more than 50A/cm3, four times more than any other 12 V power management component or ...

Power requirements for high-performance microprocessors have become increasingly demanding (see Figure 1). Prior to the Pentium class of processors, 5 Volts directly from the AC-DC silver box was used ...
