  Active Voltage Positioning Reduces Output Capacitors
  by Robert Sheehan
  INTRODUCTION
  Power supply performance, especially transient response,
  is key to meeting today’s demands for low voltage, high
  current microprocessor power. In an effort to minimize
  the voltage deviation during a load step, a technique that
  has recently been coined “active voltage positioning” is
  generating substantial interest and gaining popularity in
  the portable computer market. The benefits include lower
  peak-to-peak output voltage deviation for a given load
  step, without having to increase the output filter capacitance. Alternatively, the output filter capacitance can be
  reduced while maintaining the same peak-to-peak transient response.
  BASIC PRINCIPLE
  The term “active voltage positioning” (AVP) refers to
  setting the power supply output voltage at a point that is
  dependent on the load current. At minimum load, the
  output voltage is set to a slightly higher than nominal level.
  At full load, the output voltage is set to a slightly lower than
  nominal level. Effectively, the DC load regulation is
  degraded, but the load transient voltage deviation will be …
