Abstract:
A method of powering a programmable processor comprising the steps of:a. accepting at least a first buck converter power input; b. affecting said first buck converter power input with at least one high effective input inductance; c. creating a first directional effect in a passive electrical element from said first buck converter input; d. accepting at least a second buck converter power input; e. affecting said second buck converter power input with at least one high effective input inductance; f. creating a second directional effect in said passive electrical element from said second buck converter power input wherein said second directional effect opposes said first directional effect; g. combining said at least two affected power inputs to create a combined power signal; h. creating a low effective output inductance power output from said combined power signal; i. establishing a high current, low voltage power output from said low effective output inductance power output; j. providing said high current, low voltage power output to a programmable processor; and k. at least partially powering said programmable processor by said high current, low voltage power output.
