摘要： An apparatus and method for regulating a voltage to a load to compensate for one or more parasitic impedances. A first amplifier measures the voltage drop due to a first parasitic impedance, and a second amplifier measures the voltage drop due to a second parasitic impedance. An offset generator sums the first and second voltage drops with a reference voltage, and drives a DC-to-DC converter to produce an input voltage matching the summed voltages. Accordingly, the voltage at a load between the parasitic impedances matches the reference voltage. The load may be, for example, a computer microprocessor or central processing unit.

摘要： A multi-chip module (MCM) provides power circuitry on a computer motherboard in a package of reduced size without sacrificing performance. The MCM co-packages essential power circuit components on a ball grid array (BGA) substrate. Two power MOSFETs disposed on the BGA substrate are connected in a half-bridge arrangement between an input voltage and ground. A MOSFET gate driver is electrically connected to respective gate inputs of the two power MOSFETs for alternately switching the power MOSFETs to generate an alternating output voltage at a common output node between the power MOSFETs. At least one Schottky diode is disposed on the BGA substrate and connected between the common output node and ground to minimize losses during deadtime conduction periods. The input capacitor of the circuit is contained within the MCM housing and is located close to the MOSFETs, reducing stray inductance in the circuit. The MCM package is thin and has dimensions of about 1 cm by 1 cm or less.

摘要： An improved active voltage positioning (AVP) implementation for a power supply for a microprocessor or the like includes an AVP circuit which is separated from the power supply error amplifier by a buffer amplifier having a parallel RC feedback circuit to controllably adjust the transient response. An AVP signal derived from an output load current sensing element provides an input to the buffer amplifier. A second input is provided by power supply reference voltage. A output of the buffer amplifier is connected as an input to the error amplifier to provide the AVP window. This permits separate adjustment of the transient behavior of the error loop and the AVP loop.
