Evolution and Comparison of Magnetics for the Multiphase DC-DC Applications

This presentation reviews the different approaches for magnetics in multiphase DC-DC converters. Conventional discrete inductors (DL) are used as a benchmark against coupled inductors (CL) and TLVR. Boosted coupled inductors (BCL) are introduced to address the main TLVR problem. A performance-based Figure of Merit is proposed to compare the different magnetic structures. A notch coupled inductor (NCL) is proposed to maximize the introduced FOM. Experimental results confirm a significant performance advantage of the proposed optimization. This comparison methodology should be very helpful for engineers that design multiphase converters, need to compare different design options and optimize the power systems.

Learn About Our Demos

OCP ORV3 Battery Backup Unit Reference Design

Learn about ADI's complete solution for the Open Compute Project (OCP) Open Rack V3(ORV3) Battery Backup Unit (BBU). ADI's analog and digital parts and solutions, which include electrical, mechanical, and software architecture, are engineered to meet the customer's written application specifications. These devices and solutions are easy to implement and offer low component count and hence small form factor.

Optimizing Power Solutions for RF Signal Chain Systems

See how ADI's methodology to meet power domain sensitivity and realistic power supply noise requirements optimizes power solutions for RF signal chain systems. This methodology utilizes various power supply design optimizations, including RF transceivers, RF amplifiers, high speed ADCs and DACs, and more.

Power Design Tools

ADI offers some of the industry's best-known tools--LTspice®, LTpowerCAD®, EE-Sim® DC-DC, and EE-Sim OASIS—supporting nearly 1,000 power IC’s to help engineers design power supplies with speed and confidence. Yet we are striving to serve engineers even better! Come by our booth to discuss your ideas about how to enhance our current and future power tools.

Low Noise µModule Regulators for RF and Imaging Applications

Low Noise µModule Regulators for RF and Imaging Applications ADI's low EMI Silent Switcher® µModule regulators offer single, dual and quad output, as well as a dual LDO output µModule regulator powered by an integrated EMI barrier and Silent Switcher switching regulator. Learn how the Silent Switcher architecture and ultra-high PSRR LDO technology reduce filters and LDOs on a PCB without decreasing system performance.

Simplified Bidirectional Sources for Devices Power Supply

ADI’s simplified bidirectional multiphase buck or boost controllers use one bidirectional source while still providing dual bidirectional supply for the device power supply. This smaller solution, and use of 1 bidirectional supply, significantly reduces required space. By also utilizing the multiphase aspect of the controller, it can be designed to higher current applications.
