  • Patent number: 8793631
    Abstract: In a computing device, a computerized method and a non-transitory storage medium are applied in checking whether the transmission lines in a stored wiring diagram meet a certain criterion in relation to vias in the routes of differential pairs. A transmission line is selected to determine whether or not the line belongs to a differential pair and passes through at least one via. Another transmission line of the differential pair is obtained for analysis when the selected transmission line passes through at least one via. Sizes of vias in the respective routes of the differential pair are compared and a distance between the vias of the differential pair is compared. The differential pair, and the sizes of vias which comply or do not comply with the criterion are recorded and displayed in a list of results.

  • Patent number: 8558521
    Abstract: A multi-phase buck converter has a digital compensator to select a set of compensation coefficients depending on the operating phase number of the multi-phase buck converter, or including different compensators for each operation phase number to improve the loop gain bandwidth, transient response and stability of the multi-phase buck converter. The multi-phase buck converter operates with more phase circuits for higher loading and operates with fewer phase circuits for lower loading. The compensation varies with the number of the operated phase circuits so to be adaptive to the operation condition with an optimized control-to-output voltage transfer function.

  • Patent number: 8525497
    Abstract: For a multiphase interleaved voltage regulator, an offset cancellation circuit is applied for each phase separately. The current loop gain of each phase is thus increased to mitigate the beat-frequency oscillation in phase currents when the beat frequency is below the bandwidth of the low-pass filter in the offset cancellation circuit, without introducing additional instability issue that is the drawback of increasing current-sensing gain.
