ABSTRACT:
A computer-implemented method for designing a voltage regulator module (VRM) is disclosed. The method includes receiving design parameters and a component data for each component and storing the design parameters and the component data for each component into a component selection table, calculating a work efficiency of the VRM, and storing the work efficiency into a power computation table. The method further includes simulating a derating of each component according to a corresponding rated stress of each component if the work efficiency is greater than or equal to a predetermined work efficiency, calculating a stress ratio of each component, and storing the stress ratio into a component derating table. The component selection table, the power computation table and the component derating table are stored to form a desired VRM model if the stress ratio of each component meets a corresponding derating specification.
