  • Parasitic Component Analysis and Acoustic Noise Evaluation in Voltage Regulator Modules (Vrms)
    Parasitic Component Analysis and Acoustic noise evaluation in Voltage Regulator Modules (VRMs) A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY PRANIT JANNAWAR IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF SCIENCE Ned Mohan, Adviser June, 2015 © Pranit Jannawar 2015 Acknowledgements I would like to thank my adviser Prof. Ned Mohan for his support and advice. I appreciate his patience in guiding me throughout the period. I have learnt what kind of effort is put into the research and what kind of attitude is required to address a technical issue. I would like to mention the efforts of my fellow mates in the lab who helped me obtaining components and hardware in timely manner. Finally, I express my gratitude to my parents for their emotional support and encouragement. i Abstract Stable and regulated supply voltage has been an important topic of discussion in a consumer electronic products. Every chip and device requires specified voltages with small margins. Voltage regulated modulators (VRMs) have always been proven to provide a solution to this problem. Building a power stage using point of load method helps overcome variability issue in the signal but introduces a converter with lot of supporting components. Multiple combination of capacitors and resistors of different material composition are required to obtain an optimal design for the product. PCB parasitic comes into play and due to high current slew rate physical stress builds up in the caps which tend to come out in form of acoustic noise. This thesis deals with such issues which can improve the product quality but keeping the cost low by utilizing and analyzing components the proper way.

  • Analysis of Low Voltage Regulator Efficiency Based
    ANALYSIS OF LOW VOLTAGE REGULATOR EFFICIENCY BASED ON FERRITE INDUCTOR by MRIDULA KOTHAKONDA A THESIS Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering in the Graduate School of The University of Alabama TUSCALOOSA, ALABAMA 2010 Copyright Mridula Kothakonda 2010 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT Low voltage regulator based on ferrite inductor, using single- and two-phase topologies, were designed and simulated in MATLAB. Simulated values of output voltage and current were used to evaluate the buck converter (i.e., low voltage regulator) for power efficiency and percentage ripple reduction at frequencies between 1 and 10 MHz with variable loads from 0.024 to 4 Ω. The parameters, such as inductance of 20 nH, quality factor of 15 of fabricated ferrite inductor and DC resistance (DCR) of 8.3 mΩ, were used for efficiency analysis of the converter. High current around 40 A was achieved by the converter at low load values. Low output voltage in the range of 0.8-1.2 V was achieved. The simulated results for the single- and two- phase converter were compared for maximum efficiency and lowest ripple in output voltage and current. The maximum efficiency of 97 % with load of 0.33 Ω and the lowest ripple current of about 2.3 mA were estimated for the two-phase converter at 10 MHz. In summary, the two- phase converter showed higher efficiency and lower ripple voltage and current than those of the single-phase converter. In addition, the efficiency of single- and two-phase converters based on ferrite inductor was compared to single- and two-phase converters based on air-core inductor.
