No matter what the latest microprocessor, FPGA, or ASIC has in store, their demands always seem to be the same—the need for higher current while operating at lower voltages. A core voltage of less ...

Multiphase power conversion is virtually the only viable approach to handle today's multi-gigahertz microprocessors that devour 60A to 80A at 1.3V to 1.5V, and are moving toward 100A and higher with ...

Step-down (buck) voltage regulators have long been the preferred DC-DC conversion electronic workhorse thanks to their inherently high efficiency. Only in buck mode the current is directed to the ...
