Multiphase Interleaving Buck Converter with Input-Output Bypass Capacitor

Abstract: Abstract-As the number of transistors in microprocessors increases per Moore's Law their power requirement increases accordingly. This poses design challenges for their power supply module especially when microprocessors operate at sub voltage range. This paper presents a new multiphase topology that addresses these challenges. Laboratory tests on a hardware prototype of the topology shows improved performance compared to a commercially available power supply module.

“…Another potential benefit of multi-phasing includes improved efficiency due to the lower turn-on and turn-off losses of the switches from a lower peak current when the input current is split evenly through the multiple phases [8]. From board layout aspect, the multiphase technique offers better heat distribution on the board due to the alternating current path in the circuit [9].…”

“…As the number of transistors in microprocessors increases per Moore's Law their power requirement increases accordingly. The output current requirements for microprocessors are rising while output voltage requirements are falling [12]. Next-generation high performance microprocessors may require 40 to 80 watts of power for the CPU alone [13] while the supply voltage decreases as microprocessors move to smaller process sizes [14].…”

“…Buck converters are ideally suited for microprocessor power applications by taking its high input voltage and low current and converting that power to a low output voltage and high current. Particularly, a multiphase interleaving buck converter shows promise in addressing this issue [12].…”
