Abstract

Voltage regulator modules (VRM) need to have low output voltage ripple and tight efficiency to power advanced microprocessors. This paper explains a phase shedding technique to enhance efficiency and its impact on output voltage ripple. In this study, analysis was done on a 4-phase buck converter which is having an input voltage of 45-65 V and delivers an output of 9 V, 12A with a switching frequency of 200Khz. The phase shedding control scheme is suitable for applications such as power sources for programmable logic controllers, which is a part of SCADA systems, which requires a low voltage and high current power supply. Working of a multiphase buck converter with phase shedding is modelled and verified using Matlab/Simulink software. The simulation results show the effect of the phase shedding technique on efficiency in varying load conditions and the effect of an increase of the voltage ripple at the output.

Abstract

In the current digital environment, central processing unit (CPUs), field programmable gate array (FPGAs), application-specific integrated circuit (ASICs), as well as peripherals, are growing progressively complex. On motherboards in many areas of computing, from laptops and tablets to servers and Ethernet switches, multiphase phase buck regulators are seen to be more common nowadays, because of the higher power requirements. This study describes a four-stage buck converter with a phase shedding scheme that can be used to power processors in programmable logic controller (PLCs). The proposed power supply is designed to generate a regulated voltage with minimal ripple. Because of the suggested phase shedding method, this power supply also offers better light load efficiency. For this objective, a multiphase system with phase shedding is modeled in MATLAB SIMULINK, and the findings are validated.
