Title
An integrated inductive VR with a 250MHz all-digital multisampled compensator and on-chip auto-tuning of coefficients in 130nm CMOS.
Abstract
This paper presents a bond-wire inductance and on-die capacitance based high-frequency Integrated Voltage Regulator (IVR) with multi-sampled digital controller and all-digital auto tuning engine to tolerate parameter variations of on-die/package-integrated passives. A 130nm CMOS test-chip demonstrates a 125MHz IVR with 250MHz compensator. The auto-tuning shows enhanced performance and stable operation even under. 50% inductance changes. A resistive transient assist (RTA) circuit is presented with up to 2.5x enhancement in transient settling times. A peak efficiency of 71% is measured.
