An Active Clamp Circuit for Voltage Regulation Module (VRM) Applications
This paper discusses the design, fabrication, and test of a CMOS active clamp circuit. The active clamp is a linear voltage regulator, with a voltage deadband to allow for voltage ripple, that is designed to operate in parallel with a switchmode voltage regulator. Its specific function is to sink or source large transient currents to microprocessor loads, thus allowing operation with very small...
متن کاملNovel voltage clamp circuits for ultra low-voltage applications
Voltage clamps for protecting low-voltage DC circuits require a new approach to circuit design. Many clamps commonly used were built for systems of 5-Volts or higher but lower voltage systems require distinctive clamping abilities. The use very low-voltage precision enhancement-mode MOSFETs play a pivotal role in designing voltage clamps in low-voltage
متن کاملHigh Gain DC-DC Converter using Active Clamp Circuit (RESEARCH NOTE)
In this paper, a boost converter with a clamp circuit is proposed for high intensity discharge (HID) lamp application. The clamp circuit provides zero voltage turn on for both main and clamp switches. Compared to conventional boost converters, the proposed converter has the following advantages: (i) high voltage gain without suffering from extreme duty ratio, (ii) low stress on the switches and...
متن کاملDesign of Active Clamp for Fast Transient Voltage Regulator-Down (VRD) Applications
Since the early 80s, the computer industry has undergone great expansion. Processors are becoming faster and more powerful. Power management issues in computing systems are becoming more and more complex and challenging. An evolution began when the high-performance Pentium processor was driven by a non-standard, less-than-5V power supply, instead of drawing its power from the 5V plane on the sy...
متن کاملDesign 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...
