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 …

Processor Requirements with No Heat Sink вЂ“ Design Note 216
Craig Varga
Introduction
With the introduction of the AMD Athlon processor, the
supply current requirement for a desktop PCвЂ™s processor
has, for the п¬Ѓrst time, surpassed the 40A mark. This,
combined with low operating voltage (1.6V nominal)
and very tight transient-response requirements, pushes
conventional power supply design approaches to their
limits. The LTC В®1929 PolyPhaseВ® current mode controller makes a slight break with convention. Instead
of trying to deliver 40A with a single regulator, the
load is split in half by paralleling two regulators. The
magic, however, is in the phase relationship of the two
regulatorsвЂ™ clocks. PolyPhase Architecture
The two synchronous buck regulators are connected in
parallel and their clocks are synchronized 180В° out of
phase. This seemingly simple trick results in tremendous
performance advantages as well as cost savings. A
current mode architecture was chosen to reduce possible problems related to circulating currents that can
appear in paralleled voltage mode regulators. Competing
