    摘要: A buck converter is disclosed which prevents a voltage drop below a desired voltage when a load change occurs. The buck converter generates an override signal to turn on one or more switch devices in the circuitry. The effect of the override signal is to provide a sudden increase in the current supplied to a load, preventing the output voltage from dropping below the predetermined level. Sensing circuitry within the buck converter detects a voltage drop at the load, causing the override signal to be generated. The override signal may be a continuous signal or a one-shot pulse. Additional current sensing circuitry and the switch history of the buck converter determines the duration of the override signal for one embodiment and the number of switches activated within the buck converter.

    摘要: A system and method for automatically adjusting microprocessor activity following thermal stress of a voltage regulator is disclosed. A thermal monitoring circuit determines whether the voltage regulator has exceeded a predetermined temperature. The thermal monitoring circuit may employ a temperature-sensing component such as a thermistor to determine the temperature or may derive the temperature indirectly, based on the average input (or output) current. When the over-temperature condition occurs, a signal activates the PROCHOT#, or similar, pin on a microprocessor, throttling the microprocessor clock. Where the microprocessor includes no internal power-reducing feature, the signal throttles an external clock coupled to the microprocessor. In either case, execution of the microprocessor is slowed down. At all times, the voltage regulator maintains the ability to supply continuous current to the microprocessor.

    摘要: A multi-phase DC—DC converter having redundant DC—DC phases or modules. If a DC—DC phase fails, such as from a short circuit, it is decoupled from the output of the DC—DC converter. In some embodiments, the other DC—DC phases bear the burden of the extra power output. In other embodiments, additional DC—DC phases are coupled in, in response to the failure.
