Design Considerations for VRM Transient Response Based on the Output Impedance
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 response, small size and good efficiency. Simulations and experimental results prove the theoretical analysis.

In this paper two dimensional wave propagation is used for power combining in drain nodes of a distributed amplifier (DA). The proposed two dimensional DA uses an electrical funnel to add the currents of drain nodes. The proposed structure is modified due to gate lines considerations. Total gain improvement is achieved by engineering the characteristic impedance of gate lines and also make appr...
