− | In a modern computer system, the | + | In a modern computer system, the motherboard typically VRM that have 3 or more phases. A multi-phase VRM works very much like the single-phase VRM described above but uses multiple such circuits in parallel - each phase handling a portion of the total current that the CPU or GPU requires. The trick is that each of the phases are slightly offset such that at any given time, only a singe phase has the high-side switch close and building a charge on its inductor. The rest of the phases are discharging. |
