Abstract:
Various embodiments provide a parallel arrangement of discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) voltage regulators to provide a regulated voltage to a load. The individual DCM voltage regulators may be triggered (e.g., switched to a charge state) when the regulated voltage falls below a lower threshold. Different DCM voltage regulators in the parallel arrangement may have different lower thresholds. In some embodiments, different DCM voltage regulators may include different inductance and/or transistor size (e.g., to tune the DCM voltage regulators to different current handling capabilities). Other embodiments may be described and claimed.
