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 …

AMD Hammer Processors вЂ“ Design Note 285
Henry J. Zhang and Wei Chen
Introduction
The new AMD Hammer processors require power supplies that can deliver more than 40A current at very
low output voltages (0.8V to 1.55V). The LTC В®3719
PolyPhaseВ® controller meets these requirements. The
LTC3719 is a current mode, 2-phase VID programmable
controller that drives two synchronous buck stages
180 degrees out of phase of each other. The 2-phase
architecture reduces the number of input and output
capacitors without increasing the switching frequency.
The relatively low switching frequency, along with integrated high current MOSFET drivers keeps efп¬Ѓciency
high and solution size small. the required input and output capacitance, the controller
switching frequency can be synchronized to the external
switching signal from another LTC PolyPhase controller, thus increasing the number of DC/DC converter
phases. To ensure that current is equally shared among
the output phases, the inductor current is sensed with
current sensing resistors. Excellent current sharing
eliminates the potential thermal overstress problem
caused by unbalanced phase current. Therefore, the
MOSFETs and inductors need not be oversized and
the VRM can be operated reliably without heat sink. …
