Abstract
A remote voltage regulator module (VRM) for high-current, low voltage applications. In one embodiment, an electronic system includes a VRM configured to provide a DC output voltage. The VRM is coupled to a load board via a first bus bar and a second bus bar. The VRM includes a first capacitance of a first amount, while the load board includes a second capacitance of a second amount. A loop between the VRM and the load board is formed by the first and second bus bars and first and second capacitances. The loop is characterized by a transfer function that is second order or less.
