Abstract

Notebook, desktop, and industrial computers serve to improve business continuity, enhance consumer entertainment, and streamline industrial process control. Texas Instruments provides performance power-management designs for these applications to improve performance and extend battery life. Advanced processors and platforms, such as the Intel® Raptor Lake micro-architecture, need point-of-load (POL) designs for memory, low-power CPU rails, and 3.3 V and 5 V rail requirements from an array of rechargeable batteries, or a 12 V input bus. This document intends to highlight DC/DC converters and describe their features addressing general Raptor Lake power requirements. For specific information about Intel processors and their power requirements, log on to the Intel Resource and Design Center. Contact TI for information about multiphase controllers and power stages designed specifically for the Intel Mobile Voltage Positioning (IMVP) requirements.
