Figure 8. CPU-Core-Voltage Regulator with Active Voltage Positioning
voltage cannot exceed ±0.082V. At VOUT = 1.5V, the
maximum output voltage change controlled by the ITH pin
would be:
voltage required for a given load current. VITH controls the
peak sense resistor voltage, which represents the DC
output current plus one half of the peak-to-peak inductor
current. The no load to full load VITH range is from 0.3V to
2.4V, which controls the sense resistor voltage from 0V to
the ∆VSENSE(MAX) voltage of 75mV. The calculated VITH
scale factor with a 0.003Ω sense resistor is:

With the optimum resistor values at the ITH pin, the output
voltage will swing from 1.55V at minimum load to 1.44V
at full load. At this output voltage, active voltage position-
ing provides an additional ±56mV to the allowable tran-
sient voltage on the output capacitors, a 68% improve-
ment over the ±82mV allowed without active voltage
positioning.
