Patent number: 7583128Abstract: Methods, systems and apparatus for a controller for fast transient response, the controller including a linear compensation circuit for controlling output voltage during steady state operation and a non-linear control circuit to generate a non-linear signal during transient periods, only a first pulse of the non-linear signal is injected during each transient period. The combination linear and non-linear control provides stability and reduces delay times for fast transient response. The non-linear control circuit includes a step up and a step down non-linear control circuit for producing the non-linear signal with a short delay time when the load voltage is less or greater than the reference voltage. An embodiment includes an adaptive circuit or generating a current signal dependent on the load current, the current signal is combined with the output voltage to reduce the difference between the reference and output voltages.Type: GrantFiled: April 4, 2007Date of Patent: September 1, 2009Assignee: University of Central Florida Research Foundation, Inc.Inventors: Issa Batarseh, Xiangcheng Wang, Shamala A.

Patent number: 7251113Abstract: A direct current to direct current (DC-to-DC) converter having an active transient voltage compensator (ATVC) coupled with the DC-to-DC converter output terminal to improve a fast transient response of the DC-to-DC converter. The active transient voltage compensator compensates the DC output only during transient operation The ATVC includes a transformer for reducing the ATVC current stresses to improve the compensator efficiency and injecting, absorbing high slew rate current, and a controller circuit for controlling ATVC operation in steady state and normal operation in transients. During step-up load the ATVC operates as a buck converter and during step-down load, the ATVC operates as a boost converter while the main converter operates at low switching frequency for good efficiency.Type: GrantFiled: February 25, 2005Date of Patent: July 31, 2007Assignee: Research Foundation of The University of Central FloridaInventors: Issa Batarseh, Xiangcheng Wang, Shamala A.

Patent number: 6469908Abstract: An interposer includes two separate sets of pins, and inserts into two sockets on a printed circuit board. One set of pins supplies power to a step down converter (SDC) mounted on the interposer. The second set of pins provide inputs and outputs to an integrated circuit mounted on the interposer. One or more conductive traces in or on the interposer electrically connect an output of the SDC to an input of the integrated circuit, thus supplying regulated power to the integrated circuit through the interposer. The SDC and integrated circuit can be directly mounted on the interposer, or either or both can be mounted on packages that connect to the interposer. The SDC and integrated circuit can be flip chips or can be connected to the interposer or package using wirebonds. The packages can be pinned or connectable by solder bumps.Type: GrantFiled: February 14, 2002Date of Patent: October 22, 2002Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: P. R. Patel, Yuan-Liang Li, David G. Figueroa, Shamala Chickamenahalli, Huong T. Do
