Abstract:

In this paper, we propose a digitally controlled voltage regulator with fast-transient-response using an oscillator based ADC implemented in 14nm CMOS technology. The transient response is critical to mitigate droop for large di/dt seen in cores and wide dropout range helps enable DVFS to improve power/performance ratio. In this work, we target 1-1.15V input voltage with output voltage range of 0.5-1.12V with minimum 30mV dropout, and load current range of >22x with 0.1A-2.2A at 50mV dropout with <;0.006mV/mA load regulation using 10-bit power-stage binary control and characterized using a slew-rate programmable synthetic resistive load on-die to mimic core with 18nF load capacitance implemented on-die using area over load.
