This paper discusses the design considerations for low conversion ratio voltage regulation modules (VRM's) for the next generation of microprocessors, focusing on the handling of large, high-slew-rate current transients. A converter topology which deploys an inductive clamp to handle the unloading transients, while operating at a modest switching frequency, low current ripple, and low power dissipation, is discussed. The clamp response is analyzed, and simulation results for a 1 MHz, 100 A, 12-to-1V VRM are presented.
