Advanced semiconductor technology allows an increasing number of transistors to be integrated onto ever-smaller silicon chips. This increases the power density, however, and presents power-management ...

As the form factor of wireless handsets, PDAs, and other portable electronics continues to shrink while their complexity level continues to grow, design engineers face an increasing number of problems ...

The first major performance item to review is large-signal load-transient response performance. Here, a large-signal phrase is used in contrast to a small-signal. A small-signal transient literally ...

Multiphase buck topology is preferred for processors that are drawing increasing amounts of current at lower voltage. Common design practices limit the open-loop bandwidth of the control system to 10% ...
