Active Voltage Positioning Reduces Output Capacitors
by Robert Sheehan
INTRODUCTION
Power supply performance, especially transient response,
is key to meeting todayвЂ™s demands for low voltage, high
current microprocessor power. In an effort to minimize
the voltage deviation during a load step, a technique that
has recently been coined вЂњactive voltage positioningвЂќ is
generating substantial interest and gaining popularity in
the portable computer market. The benefits include lower
peak-to-peak output voltage deviation for a given load
step, without having to increase the output filter capacitance. Alternatively, the output filter capacitance can be
reduced while maintaining the same peak-to-peak transient response.
BASIC PRINCIPLE
The term вЂњactive voltage positioningвЂќ (AVP) refers to
setting the power supply output voltage at a point that is
dependent on the load current. At minimum load, the
output voltage is set to a slightly higher than nominal level.
At full load, the output voltage is set to a slightly lower than
nominal level. Effectively, the DC load regulation is
degraded, but the load transient voltage deviation will be …

Introduction
Many modern CPUs run at two different clock speeds,
where each speed requires a different core operating
voltage to assure optimum performance. These voltages
are documented in the manufacturerвЂ™s VID (voltage
identiп¬Ѓcation) section of the CPU speciп¬Ѓcation. Some
new DC/DC converters (the LTCВ®1909, for example) have
built-in VID control that supports dual programmable
output voltages, but many existing converters do not.
The LTC1699 is a precision 2-state resistive divider that
uses a simple SMBus interface to allow VID control on
non-VID-enabled DC/DC converters. No dedicated VID
lines are required.
How it Works
DC/DC converters maintain consistent output voltage
by comparing the output voltage, through an accurate
voltage divider, against an internal reference and adjusting the output to compensate for differences. The
LTC1699 is a 2-state resistive divider that replaces the
п¬Ѓxed voltage divider in the feedback circuit, thus allowing the circuit to support two different voltage outputs.
It is speciп¬Ѓcally designed to work with DC/DC PWM …
