What is Trans-Inductor
Voltage Regulator Inductor?
- Traditionally, transient support heavily relied on output capacitor banks due to constraints posed by output filter inductors. These inductors hindered the rapid rise of current from the regulator.
- The implementation of Trans-Inductor Voltage Regulator filter configurations has induced a shift in this situation.
- Trans-Inductor Voltage Regulator topology collaborates with multiphase buck converters to effectively manage steep load transients while minimizing the need for output capacitance.
- When applied to the power stage outputs of a multiphase buck regulator. This topology empowers the regulator to achieve a rapid transient response without compromising crucial performance parameters.
- Increasing the transient response allows for the reduction or elimination of large output capacitors.
- Trans-Inductor Voltage Regulator enhances both circuit reliability and system cost-effectiveness.
- Currently, evolving applications require a Trans-inductor voltage regulator to address high current demands and support steep load current transient steps.

Superworld New SMF Series
Product Advantages
The voltage at both ends of Lc increases during the transient load step, increasing the Lc inductance current. This current is linked to the principal windings of each phase through Lc. During this time, the coupling current increases at all phases. As a result, the voltage regulator offers additional transient current to assist in reducing output capacitor discharge.
We resolve the following
Improves voltage droop control and provides faster transient response, ensuring relatively steady voltage during rapid changes in CPU dynamic loads.
Reduces the use of capacitors, improving overall cost-effectiveness.
