January 20, 2005[Ideas For Design] Multiphase Voltage Regulator Tackles 150-A Applications
Power demands of the latest microprocessors from AMD, IBM, Intel, and other vendors continue to soar. Indeed, CPUs currently under development for next-generation servers require 150 A or more, while desktop processors require 120 A. Along with these stringent requirements come additional constraints such as cost, board area (power density), and thermal environment, which further inflame the design challenge. To explore the various options for voltage-regulator design, this...
