Abstract :
A new fast-response high-current clamp DC-DC converter circuit design is presented that will meet the requirements and features of the new generation of microprocessors and digital systems. The clamp in the proposed converter amplifies and absorbs the current in case of severe load changes and is able to produce high slew rate of load current and capability to keep constant the output voltage.
