Description

The relatively large steady-state window and the relatively small transient window for the core voltage of amodern advanced microprocessor make attractive implementation of the dynamic voltage positioningtechnique. By employing that technique significant cost savings can be realized due to the reducednumber of output bulk capacitors. Careful consideration of all sources of error is necessar
