place and all cavity MLCCs plus two Al-Poly bulk capacitors removed. Simulation depicts
a 6-layer distributed motherboard model. The VR model has a Type III feedback
compensated switching VR (swvr) and an average model (avgvr). It can be observed

compensated switching VR (swvr) and an average model (avgvr). It can be observed
from
that the switching model measurements agrees better beyond the VR
bandwidth (40 kHz) than the average model, while the average VR model performance
agrees with the overall trend. Slightly lower average model impedances are also
observed and other disagreements are attributed to imperfect assumptions about the
parasitics of the devices and specific adaptive voltage implementation in the VR
models.
