Patent number: 9122467Abstract: In one embodiment, the present invention includes a primary voltage regulator to couple a regulated voltage to a processor via a supply line. This regulator includes a multi-phase controller to provide the regulated voltage in multiple phases and to provide a maximum current output sufficient to meet a thermal design power (TDP) of the processor. In addition, an auxiliary voltage regulator may be configured to provide an excess current to the processor via the supply line for a time limited duration, e.g., based on the supply line state. Other embodiments are described and claimed.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 2013Date of Patent: September 1, 2015Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: James S. Dinh, Robert D. Wickersham, Daniel Kingsley, Edward L. Payton

Patent number: 6510065Abstract: Briefly, in accordance with one embodiment of the invention, a circuit includes: a DC-to-DC converter. The DC-to-DC converter includes a plurality of ripple regulator DC-to-DC converter circuits. The plurality of circuits are coupled so that the output signals produced by each of the ripple regulator DC-to-DC converter circuits is out of phase with respect to the other of the ripple regulator DC-to-DC converter circuits.Type: GrantFiled: April 16, 2001Date of Patent: January 21, 2003Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Harold L. Massie, Edward L. Payton

Patent number: 6417653Abstract: Briefly, in accordance with one embodiment of the invention, a DC-to-DC converter includes: a circuit configuration to modify the set point of the output voltage signal level of the DC-to-DC converter circuit in response to a transient signal by an amount related, at least in part, to the magnitude of the transient signal. Briefly, in accordance with yet another embodiment of the invention, a DC-to-DC converter circuit includes: a high-side and a low-side voltage switching device. The switching devices are coupled in a circuit configuration to apply a control voltage signal to each switching device based, at least in part, on the state of the other switching device.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 1997Date of Patent: July 9, 2002Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Harold L. Massie, Edward L. Payton, Robert D. Wickersham

Patent number: 6271650Abstract: A power supply including a DC—DC converter with multiphase current sharing and ripple regulation. In one embodiment, the disclosed power supply includes a plurality of power drivers coupled to supply power to the supply output. The power drivers are cyclically enabled to provide multiphase current sharing. Ripple regulation is provided with a hysteretic comparator that is coupled to receive feedback from the power supply output. The hysteretic comparator is used to clock or advance a select circuit, which is used to cyclically enable each one of the plurality of power drivers. A reset circuit is included to reset the hysteretic comparator in the event that the hysteretic comparator has not switched for an excessive amount of time. A supply current sensor is used to monitor the current drawn by the plurality of power drivers.Type: GrantFiled: April 13, 2000Date of Patent: August 7, 2001Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Harold L. Massie, Edward L. Payton
