Abstract :
A distributed linear regulator topology is presented to achieve uniform die temperature to avoid thermal talk between the power converter and the core loads. The topology is validated in 90 nm CMOS technology to supply 200 mA current to core load working at 1.2 V from an unregulated supply varying between 1.62 V to 3.1 V.
