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.

Effective Design of a 3×4 Two Dimensional Distributed Amplifier Based on Gate Line Considerations

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...

Implementation and Critical Investigation on Modulation Schemes of Three Phase Impedance Source Inverter

New control circuits and algorithms are frequently proposed to control the impedance (Z) source inverter in efficient way with added benefits. As a result, several modified control techniques have been proposed in recent years. Although these techniques are clearly superior to the simple boost control method which was initially proposed along with the Z-source inverter (ZSI), little or conf...

Design 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...
