Analysis And Design Of Multiphase Multi-Interleave Dc-Dc Converter With Input-Output Bypass Capacitor, Furqan Mubashir Saleemi Sep 2008

Analysis And Design Of Multiphase Multi-Interleave Dc-Dc Converter With Input-Output Bypass Capacitor, Furqan Mubashir Saleemi

Master's Theses

The power requirements for the microprocessor have been increasing as per Moore's Law. According to International Technology Roadmap (ITRS), the Voltage Regulator Module (VRM) for the microprocessor will be 200 W(with 1V, 200A output) in 2010. With the VRMs topology of synchronous buck, serious technical challenges such as small duty cycle, high switching frequencies, and higher current demands, contribute to decreased power density and increased cost. This thesis proposes a Multiphase Multi-Interleave Buck topology to solve the technical challenges of powering future microprocessors. The critical design parameter values are selected using the theoretical design equations and calculations. The design is …
