VRM Design Optimization for Varying System Requirements
نویسنده
چکیده
Intel, AMD, and other microprocessor vendors publish specifications for VRMs (Voltage Regulator Module) intended to provide power for a particular processor family. In addition to establishing electrical performance, these specifications often define the mechanical dimensions, VRM to motherboard connector, capacitors mo unted on the motherboard, and environmental factors such as airflow and ambient temperature.

متن کاملSystem-Level Optimization of Switched-Capacitor VRM and Core for Sub/Near-Vt Computing
This paper proposes to jointly optimize a switched capacitor voltage regulator module (SC-VRM) combined with a compute core to minimize system energy per instruction. Past work seeking to optimize system energy efficiency has focused on separately maximizing SC-VRM efficiency or operating the compute core at its minimum energy operating point (MEOP). We first propose and verify a core-aware SC-...

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...
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...
