ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY
NNootteess
1Recommended output capacitance, 48 x 22 µF ceramic MLCC.
250 mV pk-pk ripple. Vin = 12 V, Vout = 1.5 V, Iout = 80 A.
3With the recommended capacitors (See Note 1) across the output, the
output voltage stays within the load regulation window for all loads and
transient events, up to 80 A. It will also allow instantaneous VID-on-the-
fly changes of up to 500 mV at 80 A.
4VRM64 uses a five phase buck topology. Each phase switches at
830 kHz. This gives an equivalent switching frequency of 4.2 MHz
5Maximum current requires adequate forced air over the converter. Please
consult Figure 1 for thermal derating.
6When the VRM detects an output over-voltage event, the OVP pin
transitions to logic high. This signal can be used to shut down the
supply to the VRM, or drive an external crowbar device.
7These are default settings. The current limit may be set to ‘trip’ or
‘hiccup’. The output overvoltage limits, input overvoltage and
undervoltage settings, the output droop and offset, the current limit
setpoint and many others can be changed by component changes.
Please consult the factory for details.
80.01 G2/Hz from 5 Hz to 20 Hz, maintaining 0.02 G2/Hz from 20 Hz to
500 Hz, all axes.
9In accordance with AMD requirements, PWRGD will go high at least 2 ms
after VDD settles within specifications.
10 The ‘Y’ suffix indicates that these parts are TSE RoHS 5/6 (non Pb-free)
compliant. Pb-free (RoHS 6/6) compliant versions may be available on
special request, please contact your local sales representative for details.
11 NOTICE: Some models do not support all options. Please contact your
local Artesyn representative or use the on-line model number search tool
