(LAMC-2021), Cali, Colombia, May 2021, pp. 1-4. DOI: 10.1109/LAMC50424.2021.9601574978-1-7281-9359-5https://hdl.handle.net/11117/7863An optimization methodology to determine the best values of the compensation elements of a buck voltage regulator (VR) as well as the optimal number of decoupling capacitors in a power delivery network (PDN) application is proposed. A state average equivalent circuit model of the buck converter is employed. The proposed optimization methodology gradually finds the best compensation parameter values of a buck converter VR to meet some stability criteria in a PDN application. Additionally, the number of parallel decoupling capacitors in the PDN is minimized to simultaneously meet a frequency-domain impedance profile specification and a time-domain voltage droop requirement.engImpedance ProfileNoise ControlPower Delivery NetworkPower IntegrityVoltage DroopVoltage Regulatorinfo:eu-repo/semantics/article
