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 ...
Monolithic boost converters can convert low input voltages to a higher output voltage, all in a compact solution size. However, when the output power requirements increase, so do current levels and ...
Step-down (buck) voltage regulators have long been the preferred DC-DC conversion electronic workhorse thanks to their inherently high efficiency. Only in buck mode the current is directed to the ...
In a power-supply topology for a computer system with a 12-V input and a 1-V, 20-A output, currents are high enough that duplicate power stages can be used to reduce stress and spread the thermal ...
No matter what the latest microprocessor, FPGA, or ASIC has in store, their demands always seem to be the same—the need for higher current while operating at lower voltages. A core voltage of less ...
